Not all medical procedures that require anesthesia happen inside an operating theatre. At Aster CMI Hospital, we understand that healthcare is evolving. Many advanced procedures take place in different parts of the hospital, from radiology departments to endoscopy rooms. That’s why we offer safe, personalised anaesthesia in remote locations. Our experts make sure they provide the same high-quality care everywhere in the hospital. We help manage pain and ensure comfort every step of the way.
Why is Remote Anaesthesia Needed?
Anaesthesia in remote locations refers to the administration of anaesthesia outside traditional operating rooms. It can happen in areas including:
- Radiology rooms
- Cardiac catheterization labs
- Endoscopy suites
- Urology procedure rooms
- Psychiatric treatment areas
- Radiation oncology centres
Each location has its own challenges. At Aster CMI Hospital, we ensure that your experience remains smooth and safe with advanced techniques.
When is Anaesthesia in Remote Locations needed?
If you’re anxious or experiencing discomfort, it might be difficult to carry out many procedures. At this stage, remote anaesthesia can help you. Some key situations where we step in include:
1. Anaesthesia for CT, MRI, and PET Scans
MRI or PET scans take time and require complete stillness. It may be impossible for anxious patients, children, and those with movement disorders. We use light sedation or general anaesthesia. It helps make your experience easier and more comfortable.
2. Anaesthesia for Endoscopy and Urology Procedures
Procedures, including colonoscopies and ureteroscopies, can be uncomfortable. It can even cause pain in certain cases. We provide sedation or short-acting anaesthesia for patients. It helps make the procedure pain-free and relaxed.
3. Anaesthesia for ECT
For certain mental health conditions, ECT is a well-established treatment. During this procedure, small electric currents pass through the brain. It is generally carried out under anaesthesia. Our experts work closely with psychiatrists to carry out the procedure safely and comfortably.
4. Anaesthesia for Radiation Oncology
Patients, including children or individuals with anxiety, struggle to remain still during the radiation therapy. We provide light anaesthesia or sedation. It helps make the session easier and ensures precise treatment delivery.
5. Anaesthesia for cardiac catheterization
Heart procedures are stressful. Our experts provide sedation and pain management. It helps patients remain calm and stress-free.
6. Acute Pain Services- The “Welcome Block” for Trauma Patients
Pain can be overwhelming in trauma situations. Our acute pain services include a welcome block, a nerve block, or a targeted anaesthetic approach. It is provided right at the admission to control pain. The welcome block can make patients feel safe and at ease.
