Anaesthesiology

Anaesthesiology

The Anesthesiology Department at Pushpagiri Medical College Hospital focuses on the management of perioperative care, which includes the administration of anaesthesia, pain relief, and critical care medicine. Anesthesiologists are highly trained medical doctors who specialize in ensuring the comfort and well-being of patients before, during, and after surgical or medical procedures.

Preoperative Assessment:

Anesthesiologists conduct thorough preoperative assessments to evaluate the patient's overall health, medical history, and any potential risks associated with anaesthesia.

Anesthesia Administration:

Administering various types of anaesthesia to induce loss of sensation or consciousness, depending on the nature of the medical procedure. Types of anaesthesia include general anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia, and local anaesthesia.

Intraoperative Care:

Monitoring the patient's vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, during surgery to ensure safety and respond promptly to any changes.

Pain Management:

Providing pain relief strategies before, during, and after surgery to minimize discomfort and promote a smoother recovery.

Critical Care Medicine:

Anesthesiologists often play a crucial role in critical care settings, managing patients in intensive care units (ICUs) and providing life support when necessary.

Postoperative Care:

Overseeing the recovery of patients in the immediate postoperative period, addressing any issues related to anaesthesia, and managing pain.

Regional Anesthesia Techniques:

Performing regional anaesthesia techniques such as epidurals and nerve blocks to provide targeted pain relief for specific regions of the body.

Obstetric Anesthesia:

Providing anaesthesia services for obstetric procedures, including epidurals for pain relief during labour and anaesthesia for cesarean sections.

Pediatric Anesthesiology:

Specializing in the unique anaesthetic needs of pediatric patients, ensuring their safety and comfort during surgical procedures.

Perioperative Medicine:

Collaborating with surgeons, internists, and other healthcare professionals to optimize patient health before surgery and manage any medical issues that may impact the surgical outcome.

Emergency Resuscitation:

Anesthesiologists are trained in advanced life support techniques and may be involved in emergency resuscitation efforts.

Interventional Pain Management:

Some anesthesiologists specialize in interventional techniques for chronic pain management, including injections and implantable devices.

Anesthesiologists work closely with surgical teams and other healthcare professionals to ensure the safety and well-being of patients throughout the perioperative period. They play a critical role in managing pain, maintaining vital functions, and supporting patients through various medical procedures.
