What is Anesthesiology?

Anesthesiology is the speciality in Medical science that is concerned with the overall perioperative care of patients before and after any surgery from minor to major surgeries. It consists of Anesthesia, critical emergency medicine, intensive care medicine, and pain-relieving medicines.

The Different Kinds of Anesthesia

• General Anesthesia Achieve complete unconsciousness during surgery, ensuring a painless and unaware experience, as a skilled anesthesiologist carefully monitors your vital signs and overall well-being.
• Regional Anesthesia Target specific regions of the body, numbing them for surgical procedures while allowing you to remain conscious or sedated, depending on the extent of the intervention, ensuring enhanced safety and postoperative comfort.
• Epidural Anesthesia Often used during childbirth, this localized anaesthesia numbs the lower half of the body, effectively managing pain and providing relief for expectant mothers, promoting a more comfortable delivery experience.
