What this clinicis actually for.
Anaesthetists are the least visible doctors in the hospital and among the most important - they keep you safe and pain-free through surgery, watching your breathing, heart and pressure minute by minute while the surgeon works. Their job starts before the operation, with a pre-anaesthetic check that makes sure you are fit for it, and continues after, managing your pain and recovery. The department is booked through the surgical team and the front desk, not directly - which is why it shows 'by appointment' here.

When to wait,and when not to.
Come in straight away if
Don't book an appointment for these. Come to emergency, or call +91 9100005195.
- Tell your surgeon early about any heart, lung, or kidney disease before a planned operation
- Declare all your medicines, especially blood thinners, diabetes and BP drugs, before surgery
- Report any past reaction to anaesthesia, in you or close family
- Mention loose teeth, dentures, or serious acidity before an anaesthetic
- Severe breathlessness or chest pain after surgery needs to be reported at once
Lowering the risk
What actually makes a difference, not folklore.
- Follow the fasting instructions before surgery exactly - it prevents a dangerous complication
- Stop smoking as far ahead of planned surgery as you can
- Bring an up-to-date list of every medicine to the pre-anaesthetic visit
- Get diabetes and blood pressure well controlled before an elective operation
- Arrange for someone to accompany you home after any sedation
Looking after yourself
Alongside treatment - never instead of it.
- Do not eat or drink after the time you are told before surgery
- Take only the medicines the anaesthetist says to on the morning of surgery
- After sedation, do not drive, sign documents or operate machinery for 24 hours
- Start the breathing and leg exercises you are shown soon after an operation
- Take post-operative pain relief on time rather than waiting for pain to build
