THE DEPARTMENT OF ANAESTHESIA
The department of Anaesthesia operates in two theatres;
- One theatre which has two operating rooms is dedicated for obstetric emergencies
- The other theatre with ten operating rooms covers the rest of surgeries. Each operating room is fitted with centralized anaesthesia gas delivery system and has a modern anaesthetic machine.
The available anaesthetic team is skillful in providing anaesthesia and analgesia to all categories of patients including neonates, paediatrics, adults and geriatrics who have to undergo painful or uncomfortable surgical or diagnostic procedures. Emergency anaesthetic care which covers
obstetric and non obstetric cases like Neurosurgery, Trauma, General surgery, Urology and Paediatric surgery is provided 24 hours every day.
Anesthesia enables a patient to tolerate procedures that would otherwise inflict unbearable pain, potentiate extreme physiologic exacerbations, and result in unpleasant memories. It is the priority of the department to ensure patient safety and satisfaction. This is achieved through the following modalities of operations: pre-anaesthetic clinic, preoperative review, intraoperative .
