The best of both worlds
The epidural component “turns off” pain impulses at the level of the spinal cord—significantly less general anesthetic is needed: more stable blood pressure, less nausea, earlier extubation; after - prolonged analgesia without opioid doses. The regimen has been proven to reduce pulmonary and intestinal complications in major abdominal surgery. The plan is created by the anesthesiologist based on the operation and condition.
Indications
- operations of any complexity - from outpatient to multi-hour;
- diagnostic procedures requiring immobility and comfort (endoscopy, hysteroscopy);
- labor pain relief and postoperative analgesia (epidural);
- patients with concomitant diseases - an individual plan.
Safety of modern anesthesia
The risk of anesthesia today is minimal and is determined mainly by the patient’s condition, and not by “anesthesia” as such: examination by an anesthesiologist before surgery (questionnaire, tests, ECG), selection of the optimal method, modern short-acting drugs and continuous monitoring make the process manageable. Regional methods (spinal/epidural) allow one to avoid general anesthesia where it is not needed - the patient breathes on his own and wakes up without a “heavy head.” Prices according to the price list correspond to the type of anesthesia and are included in the concept of “turnkey operation” in most positions.
