FAQs
Modern anaesthesia is very safe, and serious complications are extremely rare. Minor side effects may include nausea, sore throat, or temporary drowsiness, which usually resolve quickly.
During surgery, anaesthetists continuously monitor your vital functions — airway, breathing, circulation, and consciousness — and adjust medications to keep your organs stable and ensure you feel no pain or discomfort.
It is important that you share your complete health details, including medications and any drug allergies, with the anaesthetist during the preoperative evaluation. This allows them to tailor drug doses and choose the safest anaesthetic agents for your body, ensuring maximum safety and reducing the risk of complications.
No, you will not wake up or feel pain during surgery under general anaesthesia.
Anaesthesia is not just “putting you to sleep”, it is a carefully managed process. Anaesthetists use medicines with a clear understanding of their absorption, interaction with other drugs, metabolism, and removal from the body.
Throughout surgery, your vital signs and depth of anaesthesia are continuously monitored. This makes the chance of waking up during surgery or staying unconscious for too long extremely rare.
Most anaesthetic medicines leave your body within a few hours, though you may feel drowsy or tired for the rest of the day.
In some older adults, temporary effects such as mild confusion or forgetfulness can occur but usually resolve quickly.
No studies or research have found any evidence of harmful long-term effects from routine anaesthesia, such as permanent brain damage or lasting memory problems.
Anaesthesia relaxes your airway reflexes and muscles, which means your body cannot prevent food, fluid, or stomach acid from travelling up and entering your lungs.
This can cause serious complications such as aspiration pneumonia or breathing problems, which may delay recovery and sometimes require intensive care.
Fasting before surgery greatly reduces these risks and makes anaesthesia much safer. Your anaesthetist will give you clear instructions on when to stop eating or drinking.
The role of anaesthesiologists goes beyond the operating theatre. They continue to support your safe recovery through close monitoring and effective post-operative care.
Pain relief is a key part of this care. It may involve pain-relieving medicines, advanced techniques such as nerve blocks, and coordinated rehabilitation support like physiotherapy.
Anaesthesiologists work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure your recovery is safe, comfortable, and complete.
Emergency physicians provide immediate life-saving care when patients first arrive at the hospital, stabilising urgent problems like trauma, heart attacks, or breathing difficulties. Their role focuses on rapid diagnosis and urgent treatment.
Intensivists, or critical care specialists, take over once the emergency is stabilised.
In many hospitals, anaesthetists serve as intensivists because of their expertise in managing complex and critical situations. They provide 24/7 active monitoring and make prompt interventions – managing ventilators, medications, and organ support – to ensure patients experience a safe, smooth, and uneventful recovery in the ICU.
