Anaesthesia and Resuscitation

Anesthesiology and Reanimation is a medical specialty focused on ensuring that patients do not feel pain during surgical and interventional procedures, maintaining their comfort, and safely sustaining their vital functions.

General, regional, and local anesthesia techniques are planned according to the patient’s clinical condition, including age, comorbidities, and the type and duration of the procedure. Throughout the operation, advanced monitoring methods are used to closely track respiratory, cardiovascular, and other vital parameters.

Reanimation involves the management of critically ill patients in intensive care settings, providing respiratory and circulatory support, and overseeing comprehensive critical care treatment. The primary goal is to maximize patient safety while effectively managing both surgical and intensive care processes.
