Anesthesia (anaesthesia), is the process of blocking the perception of pain and other sensations. This allows patients to undergo surgery and other procedures without the distress and pain they would otherwise experience. It comes from the Greek roots an-, "without" and aesthetos, "perceptible, able to feel". The development of effective anesthetics in the 19th century was, with Listerian techniques, one of the keys to successful surgery. Henry Hill Hickman experimented with carbon dioxide in the 1820s. The anaesthetic qualities of nitrous oxide (isolated by Joseph Priestley) were discovered by the British chemist Humphry Davy about 1795 when he was an assistant to Thomas Beddoes, and reported in a paper in 1800. There are several forms of anesthesia - `General Anesthesia’ — with reversible loss of consciousness, `Local Anesthesia’ - with reversible loss of sensation in a (small) part of the body by localized administration of anesthetic drugs at the affected site and `Regional Anesthesia’ — with reversible loss of sensation and possibly movement in a region of the body by selective blockade of sections of the spinal cord or nerves supplying the region. The choice of anesthetic technique is a complex one, requiring consideration of both patient and surgical factors In modern anesthesia, a wide variety of medical equipment is used depending on the necessity for use, surgical operations or intensive care support. An anesthesiologist has to have a comprehensive and intricate knowledge of the production and use of various medical equipment, anaesthetic agents and vapours, medical breathing circuits and the variety of anaesthetic machines (including vaporizers, ventilators and pressure gauges) and their corresponding safety features, hazards and limitations of each piece of equipment, for the safe, clinical competence and practical application for day to day practice At Rajasthan Hospitals, the department of Anesthesia conducts anesthesia in all the operation theatres equipped with most advanced medical apparatus consisting of ECG monitors, NIBP, Pulse Oximetry, Respiration & Temperature monitoring, intermittent positive pressure automatic ventilators are provided for safety of patients. End expiratory Carbon dioxide monitoring is also available in all operation theatres for patient safety during anesthesia. The department also caters to other medical requirements for intensive care and for other procedures and investigations wherever required including at Cath Lab, Gastroenterology Lab, Image Intensifier & others. The hospital has a separate pre-operative and & post operative care ward located at its first floor, for monitoring and safe recovery of patients from anesthesia and surgery. Each patient undergoing surgery is monitored before the operation by a qualified anesthetist. The patient is transferred to the operation theatre by qualified and trained nursing staff. The post operative care is provided at the Post surgical care ward or at the Critical Care Unit wherever intensive care is required. Postoperative care is provided with modern techniques & drugs given either intra-venous or through syringe pumps or epidural catheters, as required. Full recovery of patient is ensured with meticulous care provided to the surgical patients. The department also caters to emergency surgical requirements and qualified and experienced anesthetists are available round the clock at the Hospital to meet emergency requirements, if any. |
