Soft controlled block
The gradual onset of action (15–20 minutes) allows the body to adapt - pressure decreases smoothly, which is valuable in elderly and cardiovascular patients; the dose can be titrated along the way. The technique requires precision in space identification and is performed by experienced anesthesiologists. Restoration of sensitivity is gradual, observation is standard.
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.
