What does a Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care doctor do?
An anaesthetist and intensive-care physician keeps the patient pain-free and safe during operations and painful procedures: general anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia (spinal, epidural, nerve blocks) and sedation. They assess risk before surgery, monitor breathing and circulation during it and plan pain control afterwards. In the intensive care unit they support the vital functions of critically ill patients.

Frequently asked questions
How long must I fast before surgery?
The general rule: 6 hours for solid food and milk, 2 hours for clear fluids such as water or sweetened tea. For infants, 4 hours after breast milk. These rules prevent stomach contents entering the lungs during anaesthesia; the doctor will explain any individual differences.
Is general anaesthesia dangerous?
Modern anaesthesia is very safe for healthy people and serious complications are rare. The risk depends mainly on other illnesses (heart, lung, diabetes, obesity) — which is why the pre-operative assessment and honest information matter.
What is the difference between spinal and general anaesthesia?
In spinal and epidural anaesthesia the drug is placed in the spinal canal, the lower half of the body goes numb and the patient is awake or lightly sedated; under general anaesthesia the patient is fully asleep and breathing is controlled. The choice depends on the operation and the patient's condition.
Which medicines should I stop before surgery?
Blood thinners (aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin and the newer agents) are usually stopped or replaced 3–7 days before surgery on the doctor's instructions; blood-pressure and thyroid medication is mostly continued. Always agree the decision with the anaesthetist or surgeon.
