Your preliminary talk
Before the planned operation, we will hold a detailed information and educational conversation with you. The basis for this is a special information sheet on which you provide us with important information about your constitution in advance. We ask about medications, allergies, intolerances and other special features. Also important are examination results such as an ECG, laboratory values or X-rays, which were collected from you in the run-up to the operation. Together with your anesthesiologist, you will then go through the information sheet and your examination results and inform you in detail about the procedure on the day of surgery. We would like to encourage you to discuss open questions with your anesthesiologist. This allows us to address the fears and worries that many patients have before an operation. Please note: The consultation on anaesthesia must take place at the latest one day before your operation. An exception are outpatient operations, in which you are discharged back home on the same day (outpatient surgery). In this case, the enlightening conversation on anesthesia can be conducted on the same day.
On the day of surgery
Please show up at the agreed time on the day of the operation, if you are coming from home. Important: you are not allowed to eat anything for 6 hours before the operation. That means no solid food, no chewing gum, no dairy products. You are allowed to drink water in sips until 2 hours before the operation. And from 2 hours before the operation, you should even refrain from drinks.
In the operating room
In the O.R. we put her on a mobile couch. Before the anesthesia starts, we still have to make some preparations. They are first connected to a monitoring monitor, with which we monitor all the important circulatory functions. After that, we will place a temporary venous cannula for you to be able to administer medication for anesthesia. Then the anesthesia procedure discussed with you will be performed. Your anaesthetist and an anaesthesia nurse will constantly monitor you and your body functions during anaesthesia.
After the operation
After waking up from anesthesia, we will take you to the recovery room. There we monitor your breathing and circulation. Our anaesthesia nurses will make sure that you have a pleasant waking up period.
As a rule, the duration of stay in the recovery room is from one to three hours. Your surgeon will inform you about the course of the operation. If necessary, you will be given pain medication or anti-nausea medication. As soon as you are awake and you are fine, you will be taken to your room. In the case of an outpatient surgery, we make sure that you are picked up and can make your way home.
