This specialty ensures that patients experience no pain and maintain vital functions safely during surgical procedures. It also includes monitoring and treatment of patients requiring life support in intensive care units.

What is Anesthesia?

Anesthesia is a medical method applied before surgery or invasive procedures to prevent pain perception. Types include:

  • General anesthesia: The patient is fully unconscious.
  • Regional anesthesia: A specific body part is numbed (e.g., spinal, epidural).
  • Local anesthesia: Only a small localized area is numbed.

Each type is carefully planned according to the patient’s health condition, age, and the nature of the procedure.

What is Reanimation?

Reanimation involves the management of life-threatening conditions by supporting breathing, circulation, and consciousness. It includes mechanical ventilation, fluid-electrolyte balance management, and advanced life support techniques.

Precautions:

Before anesthesia, patients’ medical history, current conditions, and medications must be evaluated in detail. Providing accurate information is crucial for ensuring a safe, complication-free anesthesia experience.
