Anaesthesiologists
What we do
An Anaesthesiologist is a medical consultant who works hand in hand with a surgical consultant to ensure a patient is asleep and stable while their surgical consultant focuses on what may be a highly complex surgical procedure.
An Anaesthesiologist will see a patient before their operation to discuss their general health, and the type of surgery they are about to have. Together, the patient and Anaesthesiologist will decide on the most appropriate anaesthetic for the surgery, and potential anaesthetic and surgical complications will be discussed at this time.
An Anaesthesiologist will stay with a patient throughout the operation. Afterwards they will transfer their patient to the recovery ward, into the care of a specialist recovery nurse. The Anaesthesiologist will also prescribe medications to control post-operative pain or nausea. A member of our team will be available 24/7 post-operatively, in the event that complications or problems arise after the surgery.
If recommended by their consultant surgeon, a patient may meet their Anaesthesiologist in CCP’s offices in advance of their admission for surgery.
