Anaesthesiology

The anaesthesiology department is an essential part of every hospital. The main function of this department is to support the vital functions of a patient before, during and after surgery. It also plays an important role in emergency medicine and pain management.

At Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Indore, the anaesthesiology department is equipped with modern and technologically advanced equipment. These help in monitoring vital parameters during surgeries, cardiac arrest, trauma and pulmonary resuscitation. The highly efficient team is trained in the use of ventilators, peripheral venous and epidural catheters, transesophageal echocardiology machines and a haemodynamic monitoring system.

In patients with planned surgery, before administering anaesthesia, the anaesthetist meets the patient to enquire about his medical history, lifestyle habits and drug allergy. Based on this information, the right dose of anaesthesia is decided to prevent any complications.

In addition to surgical patients, a specialized team of anaesthetists and staff nurses treat acute and chronic pain in conditions like trauma, labour and cancer using a multi-disciplinary approach.
