Frequently Asked- Questions
An anesthesiologist plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and comfort of a patient during surgery. They administer anesthesia, monitor vital signs, and manage pain to keep the patient stable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
There are different types of anesthesia used in surgeries, depending on the nature and complexity of the procedure. These include general anesthesia (patient is unconscious), regional anesthesia (numbing specific areas of the body), and local anesthesia (numbing a small area).
Anesthesiologists play a key role in managing post-operative pain. They prescribe appropriate pain medications and develop individualized pain management plans to ensure patients are comfortable during their recovery process.
While anesthesia is generally safe, there are potential risks and complications. These may include allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, medication reactions, and post-operative nausea. Anesthesiologists closely monitor patients to mitigate these risks and respond promptly to any complications that may arise.
