OUR STORY

Know About Us

Why Manipal?

Anesthesiologists are an integral part of patient care at Manipal Hospitals. They have a crucial role in reducing pain and ensuring patient safety during surgical intervention. Leveraging advanced technologies available in our department, they optimise the patient’s vital function pre-operatively, maintain them during the surgery, and deliver post-operative care after surgery.

Equipped with extensive training in pain management, critical care, and palliative care, our anesthesiologists contribute significantly towards a patient's overall well-being. Contrary to popular belief, their responsibilities extend beyond the operating room; they make decisions regarding operation depending on the patient’s pre-existing ailments and type of procedure to minimise complications. Their expertise is instrumental for surgeons to optimise patient outcomes post-surgical intervention.

Treatment & Procedures

Local Anesthesia

Local anaesthesia is a type of anaesthesia that numbs a specific area of the body to prevent pain during minor surgical procedures or medical treatments. It works by temporarily blocking nerve impulses in the targeted area.

Regional Anesthesia

Regional anaesthesia is a type of pain management technique used during surgery that numbs a larger region of the body, typically an entire limb or a specific part of the body, supplied by a group of nerves. It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses in a particular area, thus preventing the sensation of pain from reaching the brain.

General Anesthesia

General anaesthesia is a medical procedure used to induce a reversible state of unconsciousness and loss of sensation throughout the entire body. It allows patients to undergo surgeries or medical procedures without feeling pain or being aware of what's happening during the process.
