The team provides skilled care during both the operation and the healing stages.

Checking Risks Before Surgery

• Your doctor will evaluate you and try to find out any risks before surgery.
• They manage any health issues before the surgery and prepare you for surgery.
• To strengthen patients ahead of surgery, our anaesthesia team offers support and creates recovery plans using the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery approach.
• They also discuss with patients the types of anaesthesia available, along with their benefits and possible risks.
• They explain ways to manage pain after the procedure.

Anaesthesia During Surgery

• The team delivers anaesthesia services for various procedures like transplants, cancer care, and surgeries that are high-risk or complicated.
• They cater to surgeries involving the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system.
• Surgeries on the heart and lungs
• Operations on the liver, pancreas, bile ducts, or digestive tract
• Procedures targeting children or newborns
• Replacing bones, spinal structures, or joints
• Using Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) driven by Target-controlled Infusion (TCI) systems
• Assessing anaesthesia levels, nerve-muscle activity, and heart performance
• Applying Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) and Bedside Ultrasound (POCUS)

Advanced Techniques for Regional Anaesthesia

• Your doctor will give nerve blocks and plexus blocks with the help of ultrasound guidance.
• When required they may directly administer central neuraxial blocks (spinal, epidural, or a combination of spinal-epidural techniques).
• Sometimes they will use catheters to give you long-term relief from pain.
• For outpatient and day care surgeries, your doctor may recommend regional anaesthesia.
• Sometimes they will do procedures requiring monitored anaesthesia care (MAC).

Obstetric Anaesthesia and Labour Pain Relief 

• The epidurals or combined spinal-epidural methods give you relief from labour pain.
• At KIMS Hospitals in Electronic City, we are extremely careful while dealing with high-risk pregnancies (those with heart problems, blood pressure issues or placenta-related challenges).
• The anaesthesia team works with the obstetric and newborn care teams to provide well-rounded care.

Pain Relief After Surgery and for Chronic Pain

• We focus on treating persistent pain that happens due to:
  • Nerve problems like diabetic nerve pain or discomfort after shingles.
  • Joint and muscle conditions such as back pain or fibromyalgia.
  • pain related to cancer or illnesses needing end-of-life care.
• We perform nerve block injections and other advanced techniques with imaging tools.
• We also use spinal cord stimulators, pain pumps, and radiofrequency ablation.

Emergency and Trauma Anesthesia

• Handle emergency surgeries and secure patient airways.
• Prepare for disasters and manage anaesthesia in mass casualties.

Post-operative and Critical Care
