What is Anesthesia Treatment

Anesthesia treatment in India is yet to receive its due. It is an essential treatment which paves way for the painless treatment of countless illnesses. While for many patients it is a passing procedure, which leads them to downplay its importance. But first let's understand what is Anesthesia or Anesthesiology?  Anesthesiology or anesthesia is a medical specialty that involves the use of medicines to prevent or reduce pain during medical procedures, such as surgery, dental work, or diagnostic tests. Whereas,  Anesthesiologists are doctors who are trained and certified to provide anesthetic treatment to patients. At Fortis healthcare, we have always been a strong advocate of quality anesthetic treatment. Anesthesiology hospitals at the fortis healthcare provide world class treatment with the use of edge cutting technology and a renowned team of experts. We are proudly the best anesthesia hospitals in India, with great care given to the patients before and after the procedure, while ensuring the smooth hospital experience.

Anesthesia Hospitals in India

India has a rich history in pain management. The formal introduction of Anesthesia hospitals in India was still centuries away; when herbs and natural substances were used for pain relief. India was neve behind in catching up and in the mid 19th century, the use of chloroform for the pain management was used for anesthesia treatment. Fortis anesthetic hospital hasn’t let the pace down and we continue to introduce the best range of available procedures and the technology they demand. 

We have received many recognitions and awards which speak of the world class aesthetic treatment we provide; however the types of procedures explain it better which are as follow:

• General Anesthesia upon administration, it leaves the patient unaware of the procedure. It is administered through inhalation or intravenously. Attention to the detail is given to the vital function of the patient. The presence of the expert makes sure that anesthesia medication is given with utmost care to the patient undergoing the procedure.
• Regional Anesthesia is used to numb a specific part of the body. It is a family of three medications starting from Epidural. In the epidural treatment, medication is injected near outer covering in the lower back to numb the lower half of the body. 
• There is a similar procedure but when the medication is injected directly into the fluid around the spinal cord it is called Spinal Anesthesia. 
•  The last treatment in the family of regional anesthesia is Peripheral Nerve Blocks. During this procedure, the local anesthetics are injected near a specific nerve to numb a limb or other part of the body. 
• Local Anesthesia more commonly known to the laymen is injected to the small part of the body for minor surgery or procedure. It is administered through injection to skin or mucous membranes.
• Sedation (Monitored Anesthesia Care) most used treatment in minor procedures such as endoscopies or dental work. It is used to relax the patient and may be used to induce light sleep.

The right set of treatment depends on many factors which include duration of the surgery, patient’s health, allergies and sensitivities; however the preference of the surgical team upon assessing the patient plays a key role in selecting the treatment. Anesthesiology hospitals are bound to give the right anesthetic treatment. The use of the right procedure makes Fortis healthcare elusive in top anesthetic clinics of India. 

Cost of Anesthesia Treatment

The cost of Anesthesia treatment may vary on many factors. Starting from selecting the right set of treatment which could be epidural, regional and local anesthesia. The second factor which impacts the cost is the procedure of the surgery. It determines the duration of the procedure which again depends on the complexity of the patient’s condition. The longer it takes, the cost might go up. A lot depends on the healthcare facility. The type of healthcare facility you choose and the additional services you need, also adds up to the cost. Anesthesia hospitals in India are transparent about the cost, all you need to do is speak to your surgeon and hospital billing department. 

It is always considered best to consult your healthcare provider (insurance company). This helps you to determine the cost and plan for any adversities which may be avoided.
