Hello Doctor,
I'm scheduled for surgery soon and I've been hearing a lot about anaesthetists. Can you explain what their role is in the pre-operative process? Also, why is it so important to discuss anaesthetic options before my surgery? I want to make sure I understand everything fully.
Hello
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Before any surgery, the anaesthetist will conduct a pre-operative consultation to assess your overall health and discuss the most suitable type of anesthesia for your procedure.
This discussion is vital because it allows us to evaluate the risks and benefits associated with each anaesthetic option based on your individual health needs. By addressing these factors, we can help minimize the risk of complications and improve the overall outcome of your surgery.
Thanks
