Anesthesiology Services

The anaesthesiology department at A4 Hospital focuses on preventing patients from feeling pain during the procedure or surgery. Our anaesthetists are pioneers in the specialty and are experts in providing effective and safe services. Our team ensures that the patient’s vitals are monitored throughout the surgery. We also monitor our patient’s health when they are shifted to the recovery room after the procedure or surgery.

Service Details

We offer a wide range of anaesthesiology services including local, general, regional, and sedatives. The type of anaesthesia given to the patient depends upon the surgery they undergo. Before any surgery, our anesthesiologists will have an in-person discussion with the patient to understand their medical history. Based on this, our experts will personalize the pain management methods according to the patient’s health.

Anaesthesiology in Childbirth

When it comes to pregnancy, many women tend to choose the childbirth methods such as vaginal or cesarean delivery.  However, the physician’s recommendation is highly significant for safe labour and delivery.  Our team specializes in delivering the very best anaesthetic services during childbirth.

Our anesthesiology services at A4 Hospital include:

  • Epidurals – This type of anaesthesia is used during labour and delivery.
  • Spinal or general – These are used during cesarean deliveries.
  • Sedatives – This is used during procedures like radiology, endoscopy, cardiology, and bronchoscopy.
  • Neuraxial – This type of anaesthesia is used during vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).

Anaesthesiology in Vaginal Delivery

Epidural anaesthesia is the chosen option for vaginal delivery by expert physicians. These are effective ways to prevent patients from feeling pain. However, the pregnant woman still can move their legs and hands and bear the pressure required to deliver the baby by the vagina.

At A4 Hospital, we also provide the following anaesthetic option for childbirth through the vagina.  

  • Non-medicated delivery

We offer our services in non-medicated delivery through cold and hot therapy, positioning and movement, breathing techniques and so on.

  • IV Medications

IV medications are the low-dose pain management options. These are safe for both the mother and the baby. However, IV medications do not reduce the pain like epidurals.

Anaesthesiology in Cesarean Delivery

Our gynaecological specialists suggest cesarean delivery for various reasons including the position of the unborn baby in the womb, issues with the placenta, weak contractions, and more. Hence, cesarean delivery has become an undeniable option during delivery. Our experts prefer using spinal anaesthesia to perform cesarean delivery. This method allows the person to feel no pain during the delivery, yet they will be awakened to see the birth of the child.

Anaesthesiology in Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) Delivery

Some women choose to have a vaginal birth after cesarean delivery. Our multidisciplinary specialists are experts in coordinating with other specialties to deal with such a challenging task. The anaesthesiology and gynaecology department plays a major role in VBAC delivery. To perform this, our delivery experts use epidural anaesthesia the same as in vaginal delivery. At A4 Hospital, our specialists in VBAC are well-trained in intrapartum management techniques such as controlling the postpartum haemorrhage and uterine rupture, while performing VBAC delivery.
