> Specialist Dr. Cennet TOR KILIÇ
In our hospital, anesthesia methods are applied, which can vary depending on the characteristics of the patients and surgeries. For this, each patient is first evaluated by an anesthesiologist in the anesthesia outpatient clinic or in the service where he is hospitalized and prepared for surgery.
General Anesthesia
Temporary loss of consciousness, loss of pain sensation (analgesia), removal of reflexes and immobility are achieved without any change in vital functions. There are different types of anesthetic and analgesic drugs used for this purpose and these are used under the supervision of an anesthesiologist. The duration of general anesthesia can be easily extended according to the duration of the operation. Following the end of the surgery, the anesthetic drugs are discontinued and the patient is awakened within a few minutes.
Regional (Regional) Anesthesia
The most common methods are central blocks (epidural, spinal anesthesia, combined spinal epidural anesthesia in which both are performed at the same time) or peripheral blocks. (Axillary block [arm], femoral block [leg] etc.) These procedures can be applied according to the place and type of the surgery. The patient's consciousness does not disappear as in general anesthesia, he is aware of everything, but his sense of pain has disappeared. Epidural anesthesia is also used to prevent birth pain.
Sedation-Analgesia Applications
It is the method of intravenous administration of the drugs required to relieve, calm down and relieve the fears of the patient in minor surgical interventions with the support of local anesthesia, painless interventions that will help diagnosis and interventions for examination (Endoscopy, Colonoscopy, etc.).
Operation
Post Anesthesia Follow-up
After the surgery is completed and the patient is awakened, the patient is transferred to the recovery unit. Here, the vital functions of the patient are constantly monitored until they are sent to their room in the service.
