Patient Safety

To maintain the highest degree of patient safety and ensure the best patient experience, our anaesthesiologists undertake a comprehensive preanaesthetic evaluation for each patient. During this evaluation, you will be requested to provide complete details of your medical history. After understanding this, our Anaesthesist will discuss the possible anaesthetic methods, their benefits, risks and seek your preferences. You can ask questions you may have and get an understanding about your upcoming anaesthetic. At the end of this interaction, your anaesthesia program will be customised

Before the operation, the anesthesiologist in-charge of your case will visit you in the preoperative room. He/she will confirm your fasting status and will again scan your file. He will reconfirm any known drug allergy which you might be having. After this, he will proceed with the process of administering the anaesthesia as per global protocols. During the entire surgery, the anesthesist will be by your side, monitoring and taking the necessary action. After your surgery is over, postoperative anaesthetic care will begin. Both the anesthesiologist and trained nurse will assess your condition until you recover from the anaesthesia.
