ANESTHESIOLOGY AND REANIMATION

At the Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation at the American Hospital, our experienced & extensive staff render services utilizing up-to-date scientific knowledge and cutting-edge medical devices. With a history dating back to 1920, we maintain strong roots in local and International health culture; with respect for both the lessons provided by the past as well as present day innovation, we perform more than 10 thousand successful surgeries annually at our hospital. Currently, up-to-date, scientific and safe anesthesia procedures are performed for every kind of surgical procedure at our department.

Our experienced personnel closely follow the current developments in the field of anesthesiology while always recognizing the importance of teamwork to ensure the safety of all our patients. Our trainers who specialize in ultrasound, airway procedures, peripheral nerve blocks and our physicians with European Society of Regional Anesthesia Board Certification and European Society of Anesthesiology Board Certification
ensure that our services are executed perfectly not only during each operation, but also before and after surgery.

All procedures are carried out under ultrasound guidance at our clinic and we have monitors enabling us to closely observe brain and heart activity. Echocardiographic parameters are supervised by our experienced physicians throughout each surgery. Preoperative evaluation and postoperative patient safety principles vigilantly applied by our pain management team and the labor analgesia team illuminate our hospital’s strong adherence to cohesive teamwork and professional ethics.  

One section concerning birth education seminars organized in our hospital consists of facts about anesthesia. In these seminars, pregnant women are informed about methods of pain management during delivery; the advantages and risks as well as anesthesia used during Caesarean section. Moreover, we especially prepare information forms for children to help them understand this subject in a general sense. 
 
Our physicians who work as leaders of pain management teams visit patients regularly after each surgery and help effective planning of necessary interventions. Efficient pain control makes postoperative mobilization of patients easier; these practices also minimize the complaints of nausea and vomiting. We combine modern technology with up-to-date knowledge as well as the staff who carry specialist knowledge in their fields to offer reliable & superior services for all cases that involve anesthesia administration.
