Experience in anesthesia practices in the Departments of General Surgery, Brain Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Orthopedics and Traumatology, Cardiovascular Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Ear-Nose-Throat, Plastic Surgery, Urology, Eye, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. It is performed by anesthesiologists.

Apart from this, as the Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, we provide services in interventional radiology, MRI, tomography, HSG, pediatric cardiology angios, gastroenterological interventions, obstetric and gynecological minor interventions, delivery room, neonatal catheterization and in vitro fertilization treatment in our hospital.

Anesthesia Applications

Anesthesia methods that may vary depending on the characteristics of the patients and surgeries are applied in our hospital. For this purpose, each patient is first evaluated by an anesthesiologist before the surgery in the anesthesia clinic or the ward where he/she is admitted and is prepared for the surgery.

General Anesthesia

Temporary loss of consciousness, loss of pain sensation (analgesia), abolition of reflexes and immobility are achieved without any change in vital functions. There are different types of anesthetic and analgesic drugs used for this purpose, and they are used under the supervision of the anesthesiologist. The duration of general anesthesia can easily be extended depending on the duration of the surgery. Following the completion of the surgery, anesthetic drugs are stopped and the patient is woken up within a few minutes.

Regional Anesthesia

The most commonly applied methods are central blocks (epidural, spinal anesthesia, combined spinal epidural anesthesia where both are performed simultaneously) or peripheral blocks. (Axillary block [arm], femoral block [leg] etc.) These procedures can be performed depending on the location and type of surgery. The patient’s consciousness is not lost as in general anesthesia; he is aware of everything, but the sensation of pain is gone. Epidural anesthesia is also used to prevent labor pain.

Sedation-Analgesia Applications

It is a method of intravenously administering the drugs required to relax, calm and relieve the patient’s fears in minor surgical interventions with the support of local anesthesia, painless interventions that will assist in diagnosis and examination interventions (MRI, Endoscopy, etc.).

Post-Anesthesia Monitoring

After the surgery is over and the patient is woken up, the patient is transferred to the recovery unit. Here, the patient’s vital functions are constantly monitored and closely monitored until he is sent to his room on the ward.

Intensive care

The intensive care unit of our hospital is a multidisciplinary unit equipped with advanced technology that provides 24-hour uninterrupted service to high-risk patients whose vital functions are severely impaired and who need to be monitored in intensive care. In our Intensive Care Unit, each patient is admitted to specially ventilated single rooms to ensure patient privacy, create a relatively noiseless environment, reduce the lighting of the rooms when necessary for the patient to sleep comfortably, and prevent the transmission of germs (provide isolation).

In our intensive care unit, there is an artificial respiration device, which we call a mechanical ventilator, at each bedside and appropriate monitors where we can monitor the vital signs of the patients (such as pulse, blood pressure, body temperature, arterial and central venous pressure, intracranial pressure). In addition, hemodialysis and hemofiltration (supportive treatment such as dialysis) can be applied for 24 hours to intensive care patients who require urgent renal support treatment. The admission of a patient to the intensive care unit is decided jointly by the intensive care physician and (if necessary) the relevant hospital physician who undertakes the treatment of the patient. According to the intensive care admission criteria, the patient groups we follow in our unit are as follows:

• Poisonings 
• Patients with sudden stroke 
• Patients with severe heart failure 
• Patients with severe renal failure 
• Patients with severe respiratory failure 
• Patients suffering from general body trauma 
• General condition disorders due to old age 
• Patients with serious infection called sepsis 
• Patients who need follow-up after major surgeries 
• Systemic insufficiencies due to malignant diseases, etc.
• Patients with nervous system diseases (such as Myasthenia Gravis, Gullian Barre)
