When it comes to preparing for a procedure that requires anesthesia at Mediclinic, meeting with an Anaesthesiologist is a critical step in ensuring everything goes smoothly. Here’s what you should know about these specialists and what to expect:
Pre-Procedure Consultation: An anaesthesiologist at Mediclinic will meet with you before any surgery or procedure to evaluate your health and discuss the best anesthesia options for your specific needs. This could include general anesthesia, where you’re completely asleep, regional anesthesia that numbs a large part of your body, or local anesthesia for a small area.
Health Assessment is Crucial: Be ready to provide a comprehensive health history, including any medications you’re taking, allergies, past reactions to anesthesia, and any health conditions like asthma or diabetes. This information helps the anaesthesiologist plan for your care and choose the safest anesthesia method.
Understanding Risks and Procedures: The anaesthesiologist will explain the risks associated with different types of anesthesia and what will happen before, during, and after your procedure. This is a good time to ask questions and express any concerns you might have.
Day-of-Procedure Instructions: You’ll receive specific instructions to follow on the day of your procedure, such as fasting guidelines. It’s important to follow these instructions to minimize risks during anesthesia.

Meeting with an Anaesthesiologist at Mediclinic is about more than just going to sleep for surgery. It’s a comprehensive process aimed at ensuring your safety and comfort throughout your medical procedure.
