General Anaesthesia
- General anaesthesia is a treatment that renders you unconscious during medical procedures, so you don’t feel or remember anything during the procedures. General anesthesia is commonly produced by a combination of intravenous drugs and inhaled gasses (anesthetics).
- The “sleep” you experience under general anesthesia is different from regular sleep. The anesthetized brain doesn’t respond to pain signals or surgical manipulations.
- The practice of general anesthesia also includes controlling your breathing and monitoring your body’s vital functions during your procedure. General anesthesia is administered by a specially trained physician, called an anesthesiologist.
Anaesthesiologist (Anaesthetist)
An Anaesthesiologist (Anaesthetist) is a medical doctor who is a postgraduate in this field. We have Senior Consultants trained in the British Isles, Australia, New Zealand, North America and in one of the best institutes in the country. They are assisted by Associate Consultants, Registrars, Operating Department Assistants (technicians), and recovery room nurses. Well-trained staff and availability of latest technology makes this as one of the safest places to get an anesthesia.
