Pain Medicine

Anaesthesiology is the branch of medicine that involves the safe usage of medical drugs to induce a controlled and reversible state of total or partial unresponsiveness in order to carry out surgical procedures safely and without causing any discomfort to the patient. Anaesthesia allows numerous medical procedures and surgeries to take place painlessly without which certain procedures may even technically be impossible.

There are three main types of anaesthetics:

Local

This refers to a numb sensation in one small area of the body. The patient stays awake and alert while the doctor performs surgery. This type of anaesthesia is administered by injection, spray, or ointment. Only the surgical area is made numb. It is mainly used for outpatient procedures such as those relating to dentistry and hand or foot surgeries.

Regional

This type of anaesthesia blocks pain and sensation in a particular part of the body. The patient is awake but the part to be operated on is made numb with the injection of a local anaesthetic. A commonly used kind is epidural anaesthesia, which is administered during childbirth.

General

This type of anaesthesia acts on the entire body. The patient is made unconscious and kept pain-free throughout the duration of the procedure by continued administration of anaesthetics. At the end of the surgery, the effect of anaesthesia is reversed and the patient wakes up without any recollection of the procedure.

The Department of Anaesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Kauvery Hospitals is made up of highly trained and experienced physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, anaesthesia technicians, and administrative staff. A comprehensive group of attending physicians from the anaesthesiology, pulmonology, and emergency medicine departments personally directs care given to patients in the ICU.

The team manages the breathing, airway, drug, and fluid balance, and all other vital functions of the patient during surgeries. Its immense expertise in the operation theatre makes surgical procedures easier for surgeons and minimizes complications for the patient.
