Treatment under general anaesthesia or sedation is necessary for patients requiring extensive or complex procedures who cannot tolerate treatment under local anaesthesia. This procedure involves administering general anaesthetic agents to induce unconsciousness and complete pain relief. General anaesthesia is particularly useful for patients with severe anxiety, special needs, or those undergoing multiple or lengthy procedures. The goal is to ensure patient comfort and safety while allowing for efficient treatment completion.
Ensuring patient comfort and safety allows for efficient treatment completion, enabling the patient to undergo procedures without fear or distress. By addressing anxiety and pain, the procedure prevents complications such as involuntary movements, incomplete treatment, or psychological trauma. Additionally, it provides a controlled environment for performing complex or invasive treatments, reducing risks and improving outcomes.
Collaborate closely with anaesthesiologists to ensure safe and effective sedation, including pre-operative assessment, intraoperative monitoring, and post-operative recovery. Verify the patient’s medical history and current medications to identify potential risks or contraindications. Monitor vital signs continuously to detect and address any adverse reactions promptly. Educate the patient and caregivers on pre- and post-operative instructions, emphasizing the importance of fasting, hydration, and follow-up care.
