FOR PATIENTS

Anaesthetists are highly qualified specialist doctors with unique clinical knowledge and skills. Anaesthetists help you through your operation – they have a major role in the perioperative care of surgical patients (before, during and after surgery).

Anaesthetists are closely involved in other important fields of medicine such as resuscitation, intensive care medicine, pain medicine, retrieval, disaster response and hyperbaric medicine.

Anaesthetists are fully qualified medical doctors who, after obtaining their medical degree, have worked for a minimum of two years in the hospital system before completing a further five years of training in anaesthesia. Clinical anaesthesia is built on the knowledge of physiology (how the body works) and pharmacology (how medications work in the body).

Your Anaesthetist will be registered with the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) or equivalent. Every Anaesthetist takes part in the continuing medical education program run by the College or equivalent, to ensure they remain up to date with the rapid changes in Anaesthesia and Medicine.

Why do you need an Anaesthetist?

Anaesthetist’s make sure you do not feel any pain and/or stay asleep during your procedure. Anaesthetists also help you wake up comfortably.

Surgical procedures put significant stress on the body and without Anaesthetists the majority of these procedures would not be possible.

Anaesthetist’s spend 16+ years studying and training to look after you before, during and after your operation. They are a medical doctor that is officially recognised as a consultant in the specialty of anaesthesia.

The word ‘anaesthesia’ means ‘loss of sensation’. If you have ever had a dental injection in your mouth or pain-killing drops put in your eyes, you already know important things about anaesthesia:

It stops you feeling pain and other sensations
It can be given in various ways
Not all anaesthesia makes you unconscious
It can be directed to different parts of the body

Drugs that cause anaesthesia work by blocking the signals that pass along your nerves to your brain. When the drugs wear off, you start to feel normal sensations again, including pain.

Local anaesthesia
A local anaesthetic numbs a small part of your body. It is used when the nerves can easily be reached by drops, sprays, ointments or injections. You stay conscious but free from pain. In some operations local anaesthesia can be combined with sedation or general anaesthesia, if appropriate.

Regional anaesthesia
Regional anaesthesia can be used for operations on larger or deeper parts of the body. Local anaesthetic drugs are injected near to the bundles of nerves which carry signals from that area of the body to the brain. The most common regional anaesthetics (also known as regional ‘blocks’) are spinal and epidural anaesthetics. These can be used for operations on the lower body such as caesarean sections, bladder operations or replacing a hip joint. You stay conscious but are free from pain. In some operations regional anaesthesia can be combined with sedation or general anaesthesia, if appropriate.

General anaesthesia
General anaesthesia is a state of controlled unconsciousness during which you feel nothing and may be described as ‘anaesthetised’. This is essential for some operations and may be used as an alternative to regional anaesthesia for others. Anaesthetic drugs injected into a vein, or anaesthetic gases breathed into the lungs, are carried to the brain by the blood. They stop the brain recognising messages coming from the nerves in the body. Anaesthetic unconsciousness is different from unconsciousness due to disease or injury and is different from sleep. As the anaesthetic drugs wear off, your consciousness starts to return.

Every patient – and every operation – is different, which means your response to anaesthesia will be too. Pre-operative assessment is very important to make sure your Anaesthetist can give you the safest anaesthetic possible. This is why they require you to fill in the pre-op questionnaire before the operation.

Your Anaesthetist needs to understand your complete medical history to know which is the best anaesthetic medicine and anaesthetic procedure for you.

You’ll also need to arrange for a family member or friend to pick you up after your surgery, because it won’t be safe for you to drive for at least 24 hours, as your reflexes take time to get back to normal.

Australia is the safest country in the world to undergo an anaesthetic. Nonetheless, every anaesthetic involves some risk and every procedure has a possibility of a complication. Your Anaesthetist will discuss the relevant risks with you if requested. If you have any specific questions please do not hesitate to ask them.
