Additional information/FAQs

1- What is Anesthesia & why is it important?

Anesthesia refers to the use of medications (anesthetics) to prevent discomfort during surgical or medical procedures. Carefully calculated doses of anesthesia are extremely important for the success of any surgical or chronic pain management in anesthesia, as they relieve pain and sensation during the procedure. Whether you’re undergoing surgery or require specialized pain management services, the expertise of a doctor of anesthesiology is crucial.

2- How does Anesthesia work?

Anesthesia works by blocking pain sensation in the nervous system, relieving us of unwanted physical discomfort during the surgical procedure. Under the effect of general anesthesia, you might be completely unconscious and will not feel anything during surgery, while regional anesthesia and pain medicine target specific areas, allowing for localized pain relief.

3- Are there any side effects or risks associated with the use of Anesthesia?

The administration of anesthesia is overall a safe procedure. However, despite all necessary precautions, some patients might experience complications. The chances of complications are higher if there are underlying conditions like obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, or stroke. Our qualified team at HLH will monitor your condition closely to prevent complications, ensuring the best possible outcomes in both anesthesia and pain management.

4- Do I need to stop taking certain medications before my surgery?

Your anesthesiologist will review your clinical history to determine the amount and type of anesthesia to be administered, and will provide detailed instructions regarding medication and preparations before surgery.
