How do I determine the best type of anaesthesia for my surgery?
Our anaesthesiologists will determine the best type of anaesthesia based on the nature of your surgery, medical history, and personal comfort after evaluating your situation.
Is anaesthesia safe for elderly patients and patients with pre-existing medical conditions?
Of course. Nevertheless, our team runs pre-surgical assessments and closely monitors all patients to evaluate their situation and suggest the safest and most effective option, irrespective of the nature and risk of the medical condition.
How do epidural and spinal anaesthesia differ?
In both procedures, the anaesthesia is administered near the spinal cord. The main difference, however, is that epidurals are used in procedures like childbirth to induce continuous pain relief, while spinal anaesthesia is a single injection administered for below-the-waist surgeries.
