The Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation is one of the cornerstones of modern medicine, ensuring that surgical procedures are performed safely, painlessly, and under constant medical supervision. Our team is responsible not only for anesthesia administration during surgery but also for pre-operative evaluation, post-operative recovery, pain management, intensive care support, and life-saving interventions in emergency situations.
TYPES OF ANESTHESIA
Each surgical procedure and patient requires a different approach. The main types of anesthesia are:
1. General Anesthesia
The patient is placed in a medically controlled, reversible state of unconsciousness.
Breathing may be supported with a ventilator.
Ideal for major surgeries and procedures that would otherwise cause significant pain or discomfort.
2. Regional Anesthesia
Only a specific part of the body is numbed.
Examples include spinal anesthesia (lower body), epidural anesthesia (often used in childbirth), and nerve blocks (arm, leg, or shoulder).
The patient may stay awake but feels no pain in the numbed region.
3. Local Anesthesia
A small area of the body is anesthetized using an injection or spray.
Common for minor surgical procedures (mole removal, dental procedures, skin surgery).
The patient remains fully awake and alert.
4. Sedation
Medications are given to relax the patient and reduce anxiety.
Sedation can range from light (drowsy but responsive) to deep (near unconsciousness).
Frequently combined with local or regional anesthesia.
Reanimation and Intensive Care
The “Reanimation” part of our department deals with advanced life support and critical care. Our specialists are trained to:
Perform resuscitation in cases of cardiac or respiratory arrest.
Manage patients in intensive care units who require continuous monitoring and support.
Provide post-operative intensive care to patients with complex medical conditions.
Is Anesthesia Safe?
Modern anesthesia is extremely safe thanks to advanced monitoring technology, improved medications, and the expertise of anesthesiologists. Before every procedure, our team conducts a detailed evaluation to minimize risks. During surgery, vital functions are continuously tracked, and the anesthesia plan can be adjusted instantly if necessary.
