Anesthesiology

Anesthesiology

The word anesthesia means ‘loss of sensation’.

It can involve a simple local anesthetic injection which numbs a small part of the body, such as a finger or around a tooth. It can also involve using powerful drugs which cause unconsciousness.

These drugs also affect the function of the heart, the lungs, and circulation. As a result, anesthesia is only given under the close supervision of an anesthesiologist, who is trained to consider the best way to give you an effective anesthetic but also to keep you safe and well.

The drugs used in anesthesia work by blocking the signals that pass along your nerves to your brain. When the drugs wear off, you start to feel normal sensation again.

Here at the American Hospital Dubai, we support all areas of the hospital, providing,

  1. Anesthesia for elective & emergency surgeries
  2. Specialist anesthesia for Pediatrics, Obstetrics, Cardiac & Thoracic surgeries
  3.  Sedation (adult & pediatric) for a wide range of procedures & investigations

Make an appointment to meet us so we can discuss with you the type of anesthetic that is suitable for your operation.
