Anesthesiology at Eskag Sanjeevani Hospitals

In the world of modern medicine, surgery is often the focus, but the foundation of every successful procedure is the science of anesthesiology. At Eskag Sanjeevani Hospitals, we believe that a surgery is as good as the safety protocols protecting the patient. Our department of anesthesiology operates around the clock as a pillar of our hospital. The department commits to ensuring that every patient—from the smallest newborn to the eldest senior—experiences a painless, safe, and stable surgical journey.

What is the Role of Anesthesiology in Your Care?

Many patients view anesthesiology as “being put to sleep.” However, our role begins long before you enter the operating room and continues until you are recovering in your ward.

Our anesthesiologists are trained physicians who manage your life functions—including breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure—while the surgeon focuses on the procedure. At Eskag Sanjeevani, we use a “personalised anaesthesia” approach, tailoring the dosage and technique to your specific medical history, age, and type of surgery.

The Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care

At Eskag Sanjeevani, our specialists work at the intersection of anesthesiology and critical care. This dual expertise is essential because it ensures a seamless transition for patients who require intensive monitoring after complex surgeries.

Pre-Anaesthesia Checkup (PAC)

Safety begins with preparation. Every patient at our hospital undergoes a thorough Pre-Anesthesia Checkup. During this visit, our doctors evaluate your heart health, respiratory status, and any allergies. This proactive approach minimises risks and allows us to create a customised “pain-management plan” for your recovery.

Advanced Intra-Operative Monitoring

Our OTs are equipped with high-end anesthesia workstations and multi-parameter monitors. Whether you are undergoing a minor laparoscopic procedure or major abdominal surgery, our team monitors your oxygen levels, depth of anaesthesia, and neuromuscular status in real time.

Specialised Care: Obstetric Anesthesiology

One of the most rewarding aspects of our service is obstetric anesthesiology. Bringing a child into the world should be a joyful experience, not an ordeal of pain.

We offer specialised “Painless Labour” services through epidural analgesia. Our team is available around the clock to support expectant mothers, providing relief that allows you to remain awake and alert for the birth of your baby while reducing the physical stress of labour. Also, for emergency C-sections, our obstetric anesthesia team ensures the fastest and safest transition to the operating room for both mother and child.

Frequently Asked Questions on: Anesthesiology

Is anesthesia safe for elderly patients?

Yes. At Eskag Sanjeevani, we use specialized monitoring and shorter-acting agents for seniors. Our team of anesthesiology and critical care experts ensures that chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension are carefully managed during the procedure.

What are the different types of anesthesia?

There are four main types:

  • General Anesthesia: You are unconscious.
  • Regional Anesthesia: a specific part of the body is numbed (like a spinal or epidural).
  • Sedation: You are relaxed and drowsy but may be awake.
  • Local Anesthesia: Numbing a small specific area for minor procedures.
Will I wake up during surgery?

This is a common fear, but with modern anesthesiology technology at Eskag Sanjeevani, “accidental awareness” is rare. We use advanced monitors to track your brain’s response and ensure you remain at the perfect depth of sleep.

Why can't I eat before surgery?

Anesthesia relaxes the muscles in your digestive tract. If there is food in your stomach, it could enter your lungs (aspiration). We require 6–8 hours of fasting to ensure your safety.

How long does it take for anesthesia to wear off?

Most patients begin to wake up within minutes of the procedure ending. You may feel groggy or chilly for an hour or two in our recovery room, where our nurses will keep a close watch on you.
