Procedures done under general anaesthesia can currently only be performed at the clinic in Košice

All operations and painful procedures are usually performed under general anaesthesia (so-called narcosis). Anaesthesia eliminates the perception of pain, while controlling vital bodily functions, especially the circulation and respiration. Anaesthesia is done by a specialist doctor – an anaesthesiologist, who ensures your safety while you are under anaesthesia and surgery.

General anaesthesia

It causes a state of unconsciousness and removes the perception of pain from the whole organism. The sleep-like state lasts from the beginning to the end of anaesthesia and surgery. Before initiating anaesthesia, a period of preparation (so-called premedication) is important, as it usually minimizes your natural fear with good cooperation and is a prerequisite for good and safe anaesthesia. Anaesthesia itself begins by introducing a dose of anaesthetic into the bloodstream (usually into a vein in the upper limb) and is supplemented by the administration of a gaseous mixture of anaesthetics and oxygen through a face mask or so-called intubation cannula. General anaesthesia can also be maintained by repeated or continuous intravenous injection of anaesthetics.
