Lalmati Multispeciality Hospital is one of the best institution for the treatment of Anesthesia.

Anesthesia or anaesthesia is a state of controlled, temporary loss of sensation or awareness that is induced for medical purposes. It may include some or all of analgesia, paralysis, amnesia, and unconsciousness. A patient under the effects of anesthetic drugs is referred to as being anesthetized.

Anesthesiology is defined by the American Society of Anesthesiologists as: “The practice of medicine dedicated to the relief of pain and total care of the surgical patient before, during and after surgery.”

The anesthesiologist provides pain relief before, during and after surgery, but they also fulfill a number of other important roles.

Pain relief in surgery

Before an operation, a patient will meet with the anesthesiologist for an evaluation. The anesthesiologist will make a plan for the operation that takes into account the individual needs of the patient.

On the day of the operation, the anesthesiologist supervises the administration of medication so that the patient will not experience pain.

However, the anesthesiologist does not physically provide most anesthetics. They supervise either a CRNA or Anesthesia Assistant while they provide the anesthetic. CRNAs often work independently without supervision as well.

The type of pain relief offered during surgery may be:

General anesthesia: The patient “goes to sleep” while the operation lasts.

Sedation: Intravenous drugs calm the patient or make them unaware of the procedure.

Regional anesthesia: Local anesthetic is injected near the nerves to numb the area that will be operated. These may be nerve blocks or spinal or epidural injections.

They monitor the patient’s bodily functions, assess the best way to treat the vital organs, and provide a balance of medications suited to the individual’s needs.

The functions they need to monitor include:

Heart rate and rhythm

Breathing

Blood pressure

Body temperature

Fluid balance

The anesthesiologist controls these vital measures and the patient’s level of pain and unconsciousness throughout the operation.

Specializations

Every anesthesiologist is trained to support surgical intervention, but many also specialize in particular areas.These include:

Cardiac anesthesia, for heart surgery

Pediatric anesthesia, for pain management and anesthetics in children

Neuroanesthesia, related to surgery for the nervous system, brain, and spinal cord

Obstetrics, offering pain relief during labor and delivery
