Frequently Asked Questions
Anesthesiology is a medical specialty that focuses on providing anesthesia, pain management, and critical care services to patients before, during, and after surgery or other medical procedures.
Anesthesiologists are medical doctors who specialize in administering anesthesia, monitoring a patient's vital signs during surgery, and managing pain post-surgery. They ensure patients are comfortable and safe throughout the perioperative period.
There are three main types of anesthesia: general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and local anesthesia. The choice depends on the patient's condition, the type of surgery, and the surgeon's preference.
Your anesthesiologist will provide instructions on fasting before surgery, disclosing any medical conditions or medications, and discussing any concerns or allergies you may have.
While anesthesia is generally safe, there are some risks involved, such as allergic reactions, breathing problems, and complications related to underlying medical conditions. Your anesthesiologist will assess and minimize these risks.
Post-anesthesia, you may experience drowsiness, nausea, or confusion. These effects typically wear off as the anesthesia leaves your system. Your recovery will be monitored by healthcare professionals.
