Anaesthesiology
Comprehensive anaesthesia care from preoperative evaluation to post-surgical recovery.
About Department
Anaesthesiology at PB Health is a precision-driven perioperative speciality designed to deliver safe, individualised, and physiologically optimised anaesthetic care across the full surgical journey. The department combines advanced monitoring technology, evidence-based protocols, and sub-speciality expertise to manage patients undergoing routine, complex, and high-risk procedures.
Core Capabilities
- 24/7 Anaesthesia Coverage across operating rooms, obstetric suites, interventional labs, and emergency theatres
- Comprehensive Pre-Anaesthetic Evaluation (PAC) Clinics for risk stratification and preoperative optimisation
- Advanced Intraoperative Monitoring including invasive haemodynamics, depth-of-anaesthesia, and neuromuscular monitoring
- Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anaesthesia (USGRA) for precision nerve blocks and opioid-sparing analgesia
- Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for airway assessment, vascular access, and cardiac evaluation at the bedside
- Difficult Airway Management Infrastructure with video laryngoscopy, fibreoptic intubation, and emergency airway algorithms
- Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocols integrated across surgical specialities
- Acute & Chronic Pain Management Services, including epidural analgesia, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), and interventional pain procedures
- Post-Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU) with continuous monitoring and structured recovery pathways
Integrated Care Model
Our Anaesthesiology Department operates on an integrated perioperative care model, in which anaesthesiologists, surgeons, intensivists, and allied speciality teams function in close coordination across every phase of the surgical journey. This shared-care approach is aligned with the global Perioperative Surgical Home (PSH) framework, ensuring continuity from preoperative assessment through intraoperative management to postoperative recovery.
Every case is managed through a structured perioperative pathway, with anaesthesiologists leading risk evaluation, optimisation, and intraoperative decision-making to ensure that each patient receives an individualised plan suited to their physiology, comorbidities, and surgical complexity.
Clinical Focus Areas
What To Expect Under Our Anaesthesia Care
- From your first consultation: A dedicated pre-anaesthetic evaluation reviews your medical history, medications, tests, and surgical risk before the procedure.
- A personalised anaesthetic plan: Your anaesthesia is customised to your health condition, surgery type, and individual needs.
- Continuous monitoring throughout: Heart rhythm, oxygen levels, breathing, blood pressure, temperature, and anaesthesia depth are monitored in real time.
- Precision techniques at the bedside: Ultrasound-guided blocks, advanced airway tools, and guided vascular access improve safety and accuracy.
- Clear communication always: Patients and families receive guidance on recovery, pain control, and post-procedure care.
- Structured recovery care: Every patient is closely monitored in the Post-Anaesthesia Care Unit before transfer or discharge.
