TESTIMONIALS
What Patients Says About Us
What you should know about anesthesia, and frequently asked questions.
What is Anesthesia?
Anesthesia is a medical process that prevents pain and sensation during surgeries or procedures.
What are the different types of anesthesia?
Anesthesia can be classified into three main types: 1. General anesthesia: Induces unconsciousness for major surgeries. 2. Regional anesthesia: Numbs a specific region of the body (e.g., spinal or epidural anesthesia). 3. Local anesthesia: Numbs a small area for minor procedures (e.g., dental work or skin surgery).
Is anesthesia safe?
Yes, modern anesthesia is generally very safe. Anesthesiologists are highly trained to monitor patients and adjust medications as needed. However, risks can vary based on individual health conditions and the type of procedure.
Will I wake up during surgery?
Under general anesthesia, waking up during surgery is extremely rare due to careful monitoring and medication adjustments. In cases of regional or local anesthesia, patients remain awake but do not feel pain.
What are the side effects of anesthesia?
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, sore throat (from intubation), and temporary confusion. Most side effects are mild and resolve within a few hours or days.
How long does it take to recover from anesthesia?
Recovery time depends on the type of anesthesia used. General anesthesia may take a few hours to wear off, while local or regional anesthesia may allow for a quicker recovery. Some lingering effects like grogginess can last up to 24 hours.
