Anesthesiology is that branch of medicine that focuses on relieving pain during the perioperative period (before, during and post the surgical procedure). The administered medicaments are called anaesthesia/anaesthetics, while the doctor trained for this speciality is an anesthesiologist/anaesthetist. At Manipal Hospitals, Hebbal, the Department of Anesthesiology provides patients with pre-operative care for reducing pain during surgeries, in case of complex open surgeries, and during minimally invasive surgeries. MH Hebbal Department of Anesthesiology conducts its operations jointly with other departments and provides local anaesthesia, general anaesthesia, intensive care medicine, pain medicine and critical emergency medicine.
The Manipal Hospitals' anesthesiologists are among the hospital's highly respected practitioners. They hold the critical responsibility of managing the airway and breathing, fluid and drug balance, and each one of the patient's vital functions at the time of the surgery.

This type of anesthesia is administered by spray, injection or as an ointment. The surgical area alone is made numb. It is mainly used for outpatient procedures such as hand or foot surgery.
This is a form of anesthesia used to numb a particular portion of the body, for instance, epidural or spinal anesthesia or nerve block anesthesia.
This form of anesthesia allows a specific procedure or surgery to be performed on the patient while they are unconscious. Vital signs and organ functions will be closely monitored during this period of time. Pain medication will be administered to reduce the body’s stress responses to surgery. This helps speed up recovery after surgery. Patients will…
Where the patient is kept asleep and pain-free throughout the procedure using continuous administration of anaesthetics. At the end of the surgery, the effect of anaesthetics is reversed and he/she is woken up.
Where the patient is awake but the part to be operated upon is made temporarily numb using an injection of local anesthetics. If the injection is made into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord, it is called spinal anaesthesia. If local anaesthetics are injected around the sheath covering the spinal cord, it is called epidural anaesthesia. If the injection is made around individual nerve groups, it is called a plexus block.
Some surgeries can be done using local anesthesia where the injection is made immediately around the part to be operated upon. This is suitable for relatively minor surgeries. However, if there is a worry that the patient can get anxious or that the surgery might be more extensive than anticipated, anaesthetists are requested to be 'stand-by' to administer sedation, pain relief or anaesthesia as required.
The Anaesthesiology department is a busy department catering to over 25 different specialities on a daily basis.

Department of Anesthesiology offers care and expertise to the following:
There are three types of anesthesia; local, regional, and general. Local anesthesia is specific; a small area of the body is numbed while one is conscious or awake. Regional anesthesia is administered to numb a specific region of nerves on the body. The patient may be awake/ conscious or receive a sedative for a light sleep during the operation. The patient may remember parts of the procedure but should be free of pain. General anesthesia is a state of regulated unconsciousness that results in a loss of body sensation through anesthetic drugs, such as gases or vapors inhaled through a mask or breathing tube or drugs given through an IV. It is rare for patients to have any memory during general anesthesia.
