Your Questions Answered

Anesthesia & Patient Safety FAQs in Bengaluru

Understanding anesthesia is a vital part of your preparation for any medical procedure. We're here to provide clear, reassuring answers.

What exactly does an Anesthesiologist do during my surgery?

Your Anesthesiologist is with you constantly during your surgery. They manage your level of consciousness, continuously monitor all your vital signs (heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, oxygen levels), administer necessary medications, and adjust your anesthesia as needed to ensure you are safe, comfortable, and pain-free throughout the entire procedure.

How will my Anesthesiologist know what type of anesthesia is best for me?

Before your procedure, your Anesthesiologist will conduct a thorough pre-operative assessment. They will review your medical history, discuss your current health, any medications you take, allergies, and the specifics of your surgery. Based on this comprehensive evaluation, they will recommend the safest and most effective anesthesia plan tailored just for you.

Is anesthesia safe, and what are the potential risks?

Modern anesthesia is extremely safe, thanks to significant advancements in medication, technology, and the expertise of Anesthesiologists. While all medical procedures carry some inherent risks, serious complications from anesthesia are rare. Your Anesthesiologist will discuss any specific risks relevant to your individual health and the planned procedure during your consultation.

Can I eat or drink before my surgery or procedure?

It is extremely important to follow specific fasting instructions given by your Anesthesiologist and surgical team. Typically, you will be asked to stop eating and drinking several hours before your procedure. This is a crucial safety measure to prevent serious complications like aspiration (inhaling stomach contents into your lungs) while under anesthesia or sedation. Always clarify these instructions with your care team.
