Anesthesiologists are responsible for ensuring the delivery of anesthesia safely to patients in virtually all health care settings, including all major medical tertiary care facilities. This includes:
- preoperative evaluation
- consultation with the surgical team
- creating a plan for the anesthesia tailored to each individual patient
- airway management
- intraoperative life support and provision of pain control
- intraoperative diagnostic stabilization
- proper post-operative management of all patients.
Our department also provides care for patients with acute and chronic pain conditions and is involved in palliative care. The department is a strong advocate for a so-called multidisciplinary approach of these often very complicated patients.
