Anaesthesiology

Overview

What is Anaesthesiology?

Anaesthesiology is a specialised field of medicine dedicated to keeping patients safe during any major or minor surgical or diagnostic procedure. It involves preparing patients pre-procedure, administering the appropriate anaesthetic and managing responses and reactions in real time. Anaesthesiologists are also tasked with monitoring vital functions including breathing, circulation and consciousness while overseeing pain, medications and recovery.

Safe and Compassionate Anaesthesia Care at NMC Hospitals and Clinics

Our Anaesthesiology Departments across all our hospitals in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Al Ain and Ras Al Khaimah operate with empathy at their core and are committed to providing safe, effective and personalised care for every patient faced with surgical or diagnostic procedures. Patients preparing for surgery, whether major, simple or complex, can expect to be under the care of our experienced team of anaesthesia doctors and consultants who ensure comfort, communication and safety at every step. 

We understand very well that the thought of anaesthesia can evoke anxiety and fear of the unknown, which is why our team of compassionate anaesthesiologists in Dubai and the Emirates take the time to explain the process at every stage, from assessment through to recovery, to ensure patients feel fully informed and reassured before any procedure. Precision, empathy and expertise are parts of our operating ethos and we guarantee a smooth experience and a safe outcome for all our patients undergoing all types of procedures. 

NMC Healthcare has been a reputable provider of patient-centred medical excellence for more than two decades and that spans across all our specialities, Anaesthesiology included. Within our network, our Anaesthesiology Departments in particular, play a pivotal role in every surgical and interventional specialty and are a crucial part of pre- and post-surgical processes. They lead the way in ensuring patients are safely prepared, attentively monitored and compassionately supported and guided throughout every stage of recovery.

Our anaesthesiology consultants, who are trained in using the latest technology and most advanced monitoring systems to deliver precise and accurate anaesthesia care, follow a holistic and collaborative approach. Our doctors work closely with teams of surgeons, intensivists and nursing teams to tailor and curate specific anaesthetic plans to match each patient’s medical condition, type of surgery and overall health profile.

Covering the whole spectrum of anaesthesiology medicine, we are equipped to handle general anaesthesia for complex surgeries to regional blocks and sedation for minor procedures with all our approaches chosen to maximise comfort and minimise risk for patients under our care.

NMC’s anaesthesia teams also work closely with surgeons and nurses from across the board, to ensure coordinated, multidisciplinary care, from operating theatre to recovery room and beyond.

 

Safety lies at the heart of everything we do and is our number one priority which is why our operating theatres and recovery units are equipped with advanced anaesthesia workstations, cardiac life-support devices and continuous patient-monitoring systems in case of an emergency. 

Having direct access to this technology enables our anaesthesiology consultants to monitor vital signs in real time, respond immediately to changes and maintain optimal safety throughout each procedure.
