Department of Anesthesia

Introduction

Anesthesia is a critical component of modern medicine, enabling patients to undergo surgical procedures and diagnostic interventions with minimal discomfort and distress.

Common Conditions Requiring Anesthesia Services
Our Anesthesia Techniques
General Anesthesia

For major surgeries, ensuring patients are completely unconscious and free from pain.

Why Use General Anesthesia?

  • Complete Unconsciousness for extensive or invasive surgeries.
  • Profound Pain Management (analgesia).
  • Muscle Relaxation to facilitate surgical access.
  • Controlled Environment with continuous monitoring.
Regional Anesthesia
Such as epidurals and nerve blocks, which provide targeted pain relief for specific areas of the body.

Why Use Regional Anesthesia?

  • Targeted Pain Relief for specific procedures (e.g., knee replacement).
  • Reduced Systemic Effects and fewer side effects.
  • Faster Recovery times compared to general anesthesia.
  • Less Need for Postoperative Opioid Pain Medications.
Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC)
Tailored for outpatient procedures, offering sedation while allowing for quicker recovery times.

Why Use MAC?

  • Patient Comfort with tailored, flexible sedation levels.
  • Rapid Recovery and earlier discharge.
  • Lower Risk of Complications than general anesthesia.
  • Easier Monitoring while the patient remains conscious.
Spinal Anesthesia
Used to numb the lower half of the body by injecting a local anesthetic into the cerebrospinal fluid in the lower back.

Why Use Spinal Anesthesia?

  • Blocks pain and sensation in the legs, pelvis, and abdomen.
  • Allows the patient to remain awake during surgery.
  • MAC often complements spinal anesthesia for enhanced comfort.
  • Ideal for patients anxious about general anesthesia.
