The role of an anesthetist is to provide anesthesia and analgesia for patient under going surgery or painful procedures. The anesthetist determines the appropriate method of anesthesia for a patient by the following criteria: a physical examination, an evaluation of patient’s clinical results& a risk assessment profile. In addition, it is the anesthetist’s duty to provide preoperative care which include for e.g. addressing the anxieties
or fears of a patient and to pre-medicate the patient in preparation for surgery. During an operation, after the administration of anesthesia (general, regional or local) and /or analgesia, the patient enters a state of carefully controlled unconscious ness and all his/her body functions are constantly monitored by the anesthetist. After an operation (post – operative period), the anesthetist
monitors the patient’s condition in a recovery unit, until they can be transferred to a ward. We are a team of highly specialized doctors and nurses, dedicated to providing a comprehensive anesthesia and analgesia services with optimum clinical care.
