Welcome to Galaxy Hospital’s Anesthesia Services
Introduction
Welcome to the Anaesthesia Service at Galaxy Hospital. Our state-of-the-art facility is dedicated to ensuring that our patients experience the highest level of comfort and safety during their medical procedures. We understand that undergoing surgery or any medical intervention can be stressful. That’s why our team of highly skilled anaesthesiologists and support staff are here to provide you with exceptional care every step of the way.
What is Anaesthesia?
Anaesthesia is a medical practice used to prevent pain during surgeries and other medical procedures. It involves administering drugs that induce a temporary loss of sensation or awareness. Anaesthesia can be local (numbing a small area), regional (numbing a larger part of the body), or general (putting the patient to sleep). The type of anaesthesia used depends on the nature of the procedure and the patient’s health condition.
Types of Anaesthesia
- Local Anaesthesia:
- Used for minor procedures such as dental work or small skin surgeries.
- The anaesthetic is injected or applied to the specific area needing treatment.
- Patients remain fully awake and aware during the procedure.
- Regional Anaesthesia:
- Includes spinal, epidural, and nerve block anaesthesia.
- Used for procedures on larger areas of the body, such as during childbirth or limb surgeries.
- Patients may be awake or sedated, depending on the procedure and their comfort level.
- General Anaesthesia:
- Used for major surgeries.
- The patient is rendered completely unconscious.
- Administered through an IV or inhaled gases.
- Continuous monitoring of vital signs is essential throughout the procedure.
Our Expertise
At Galaxy Hospital, our anaesthesia team is composed of experienced anaesthesiologists, nurse anaesthetists, and anaesthesia technicians. They are experts in managing all types of anaesthesia and ensuring patient safety. Our team uses the latest technologies and techniques to provide the best possible outcomes.
Pre-Anaesthesia Consultation
Before any procedure, our anaesthesia team conducts a thorough pre-anaesthesia consultation. This involves:
- Reviewing the patient’s medical history.
- Discussing any allergies or past reactions to anaesthesia.
- Explaining the type of anaesthesia to be used.
- Addressing any concerns or questions the patient may have.
This consultation is crucial in planning a safe and effective anaesthesia plan tailored to each patient’s needs.
Safety and Monitoring
Safety is our top priority. During the procedure, the anaesthesia team closely monitors the patient’s vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. Advanced monitoring equipment ensures that any changes are detected immediately, allowing for prompt intervention if necessary.
Pain Management
Effective pain management is an integral part of our anaesthesia services. We use a multimodal approach, combining different types of pain relief methods to achieve the best results with minimal side effects. This approach helps in faster recovery and improves overall patient satisfaction.
Post-Anaesthesia Care
After the procedure, patients are taken to the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU), where they are closely monitored as they wake up from the anaesthesia. Our team ensures that patients are comfortable and provides necessary pain relief. We also educate patients on what to expect during their recovery period and provide instructions for home care.
