WHAT IS ANESTHESIOLOGY?

Anesthesiology is the practice of medicine dedicated to the relief or inhibition of pain and total care of the surgical patient before, during and after surgery. Anesthesia may be administered locally (to numb only the surgery site) or generally, which puts the patient to sleep for the procedure. The education of today’s anesthesiologists has kept pace with their expanding role in all aspects of the surgical process.

GENERAL ANESTHESIA IS A COMPLEX PROCEDURE INVOLVING:

• Pre-anesthetic assessment
• Prior to surgery, the anesthetist interviews the patient to determine the best combination and dosages of anesthetics and the method and monitoring process required to ensure a safe and effective procedure. It is important that you answer the questions truthfully and completely so the anesthetist can select the proper anesthetics and procedure.
• One of the risks under general anesthesia is that you may involuntarily regurgitate. For this reason your anesthetist will instruct you not to take any fluid or food after midnight on the night before your operation.
• Administration of general anesthetic drugs (induction)
• Monitoring vital signs such as blood pressure, oxygen saturation and heart rate
• Analgesia (pain inhibition)
• Airway management
• Fluid management
• Waking (emergence from the anesthesia process)
• Postoperative pain relief
