Care That Surrounds Every Operation
Anaesthesia is far more than putting a patient to sleep. The Anaesthesiology & Perioperative Care Department assesses fitness for surgery, keeps patients stable and pain-free throughout the procedure, and oversees the first hours of recovery. It is the service that makes every operation in the hospital possible.
Surgery is safest when the whole journey is planned. Our Perioperative Care service focuses on:
Pre-Operative Assessment
Reviewing fitness for anaesthesia and identifying risks before the day of surgery.
Continuous Monitoring
Close observation of breathing, circulation and depth of anaesthesia throughout the procedure.
Comfortable Recovery
Structured pain relief and observation as the effects of anaesthesia wear off.
Our Anaesthesia & Perioperative Services Include:
Pre-Anaesthetic Assessment
Review of medical history, medication and investigations to plan the safest anaesthetic.
General Anaesthesia
Full anaesthesia for major and intermediate procedures, with continuous monitoring.
Regional & Spinal Anaesthesia
Targeted anaesthesia that numbs one region, often used in obstetric and lower-limb surgery.
Intraoperative Monitoring
Continuous observation of vital signs for the duration of the operation.
Post-Anaesthesia Recovery
Supervised recovery until patients are stable, awake and comfortable.
Acute Pain Management
Pain relief planned around the procedure and adjusted as recovery progresses.
A Department You Rarely See
Most patients never meet the anaesthetist for long — but the planning, monitoring and recovery care around an operation is what turns a successful procedure into a safe one.
