Diseases & Treatment
Over the years, anesthesia has attained the status of being one of the safest areas of healthcare, however, we at Fortis Kolkata, never stop going the extra mile or innovating towards the next best practice. We follow a very transparent procedure that allows us to put forth the benefits and risks together in front of you. At Fortis Kolkata, our anesthetist will make sure to look after your wellbeing and safety before and after your surgery. This includes preoperative planning, choosing the apt anesthetic, and arranging appropriate postoperative care as well as pain control.
Before a surgery, a preoperative visit may be conducted to explain everything in detail. You will also be asked questions about your general health, any medications, allergies, or medical conditions. If you have a previous anesthetic experience, your anesthetist might ask you details about it. Thereon, he will give you advice on how to prepare for surgery by suggesting which medication needs to be taken or which one needs to be avoided and how long you might be required to fast. In case your anesthetist is not satisfied with your general health or feels that there might be some risk, the operation might be delayed until the issue at hand is resolved.
Our Anaesthetist might also ask you to undertake some blood tests along with other tests as applicable. It is vital that you follow our doctor's advice so that you can be better prepared for surgery. At the end of the day, our anesthetists main concern is your safety which is why they will readily answer any questions for you at any time to make you feel at ease. Once satisfied, our anesthetist will discuss in length about the anesthetic methods which will be employed in your case. After discussions about your preferences and the risks, your surgery will be scheduled and an appropriate anesthetic plan will be formulated for you. At Fortis, we make sure that each and every single one of our patients is treated with respect and dignity as an individual and not just as another procedure or a condition.
