Overview Section

Anesthesiology

In modern healthcare, anaesthesia is extremely important. It ensures the patient's precision, safety, and comfort throughout procedures and surgeries. You cannot feel pain during a treatment or operation if you are under anaesthesia. Drugs that prevent pain are known as anaesthetics. Anaesthetists, often known as anaesthesiologists, are doctors who specialise in this speciality.

We are proud at Gleneagles Hospital to be the premier Anaesthesiology Hospital in Bangalore. We put our patients first by utilising the latest medical expertise and technology available. Our experienced anaesthesiologists will commit themselves to giving you the best care possible before, during, and after surgery.

Role of Anaesthesiology in Healthcare

At Gleneagles, the top hospital for pain management in Bangalore, we give a comprehensive range of services that depict our leadership in anesthesiology care:

  • General Anaesthesia: The patient is kept unconscious and painless during the surgery by the continuous injection of anaesthetics. The effect is reversed at the completion of the procedure, and the patient is awoken.
  • Regional Anaesthesia: The patient is awake, but local anaesthetics would have been given to cause temporary numbness in the surgical area. Spinal anaesthesia involves injecting the fluid around the spinal cord; epidural anaesthesia involves injecting the fluid around the spinal cord; and plexus block involves injecting the fluid around specific nerve groups.
  • Local Anaesthesia: Spray, injection, or ointment are the methods used to give this. With this kind of anaesthesia, only the surgical site is numbed. During outpatient foot or hand surgery, for example, it is highly helpful.
  • Monitored Anaesthesia Care: Injections are administered around the surgical site when local anaesthesia is used. Some patients are more comfortable with getting anaesthesia, especially if they seem agitated or if the surgical procedure is relatively tedious. For the majority of cases this technique works properly.

Key Contributions of the Anaesthesiology Department

Precision Anaesthetic Management: In order to meet the unique requirements of every patient and surgical operation, our team creates personalised anaesthesia programs. Throughout the procedure, this personalisation optimises comfort and safety.

  • Surgical Facilitation: At Gleneagles Hospital, the premier hospital for anaesthesia in Bangalore, the anaesthesiologists collaborate with the surgical teams to provide and oversee anaesthesia with the highest level of accuracy. This ensures an optimal outcome for the patient throughout any surgical treatment.
  • Organ Transplant Support: Efficient anaesthesiologists are necessary for organ transplant surgery. In essence, these specialists keep patients stable and comfortable. Surgeons can thus confidently perform complex surgeries.
  • Pain Management Expertise: For patients, effective pain management is essential to their rehabilitation. To aid the patients and facilitate the recovery process, our staff includes a variety of options for post-operative pain management techniques.
  • Advanced Monitoring Techniques: Modern monitoring equipment is used by the department to continually check vital signs, enabling in-the-moment safety changes during procedures.
  • Innovative Anaesthetic Approaches: The aim is to integrate new tools and techniques that improve the therapeutic effect for patients and the quality of their stay because of the modernisation of anaesthesia practice.
