Patient care and anaesthesia information
Our team of specialist anaesthesiologists works closely with your surgeon and the hospital staff to ensure that your surgery is conducted with the highest standards of safety and professionalism. Our role is not only to administer anaesthesia, but also to monitor and care for you throughout your surgical journey.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes. Your anaesthesiologist will meet with you before your procedure to review your medical history, discuss the anaesthetic plan and answer any questions you may have
Modern anaesthesia is extremely safe, especially when administered by trained specialists. Your anaesthesiologist continuously monitors your vital signs and adjusts medications throughout the procedure to ensure your safety.
No. Anaesthesia prevents pain during your procedure. Your anaesthesiologist also manages pain control during and after surgery to ensure your comfort.
Most patients begin waking up within minutes after surgery. Full recovery from the effects of anaesthesia can vary depending on the procedure and medications used.
You will usually be asked not to eat or drink for several hours before surgery. Your anaesthesiologist or surgeon will provide specific instructions prior to your procedure.
Some patients may experience mild and temporary side effects such as:
Nausea or vomiting
Drowsiness
Sore throat
Dizziness
These symptoms usually resolve within a short period after surgery.
Your anaesthesiologist is an independent specialist doctor, which means the anaesthetic account is separate from the hospital and surgeon’s accounts. Medical schemes may not always cover the full anaesthetic fee depending on the scheme and plan option.
