Awakening from general anesthesia and postoperative monitoring

The anesthesiologist manages anesthesia so that the sleep lasts an appropriate amount of time depending on the operation, and after the operation, the patient wakes up quickly and pleasantly and does not feel pain. The awakening takes place in the operating room, where the patient is monitored by the anesthesiologist and the anesthesia nurse. When the patient wakes up and is breathing satisfactorily on his own and his reflexes have returned, the anesthesiologist removes the breathing tube (or laryngeal mask airway). The patient usually does not remember this period later.

More information

After a spinal surgery or anesthesia, the patient is transferred to the postoperative recovery room or intensive care room, which is located next to the operating room. There, he is received by a nurse who is with the patient at all times and monitors his vital functions. The patient is connected to a monitor and regularly monitors and records his blood pressure, pulse and blood oxygen saturation. He also observes the patient's motor skills (movement of the legs or arms), assesses pain, observes the wound and
the content of the urine, the amount and color of the urine (if the patient has a catheter)... and inform the anesthesiologist or surgeon of any deviations. Since the operating room is cold and the body cools down during a long operation, the patient may feel cold after the operation, which is uncomfortable, so they are warmed with warm air. After general anesthesia, patients are usually sleepy and dozing for a while, sometimes they also need oxygen, which is given to them through a nasal catheter.

Opinions of satisfied customers

Our patients' opinions testify to the trust, professionalism, and personal approach that we implement in our work every day.
MD Medicina has friendly and, above all, professional staff. The anesthesiologists make sure you feel really safe. The surgeon gives you all the information and does his job professionally, taking care of you until you leave and of course afterwards. The nurses, physiotherapist and others make sure you don't miss anything, even if you really can't do anything at that time. Professionalism, friendliness, homeliness. This is probably all that we as patients want and deserve when we need surgery. And that's how I felt too, because everything, from the preparation for the procedure, the surgery and the postoperative care, was carried out superbly. Thank you to the entire team and all the best!

Thank you to all of you who use the latest medical devices, methods and forms of work in your medical work. At the same time, you are training a new generation of doctors because you are personally convinced that a collaborative approach with the patient is not only beneficial for you, but also for us. This makes us feel "important".

When you enter the MD medicine building, you feel more comfortable than not, because you don't immediately have that familiar and unpleasant feeling and smell of a hospital. You are greeted by a friendly nurse who greets you kindly and explains everything you are interested in. Everything has a relaxing effect, so that that last feeling of anxiety before a doctor's examination or surgery really goes away. The doctor you visit is a top expert who devotes himself entirely to you, really listens to you, has time for you and, in the end, gives you professional advice. I always leave the premises of MD medicine calm and with a clear picture that there are people here who will always take care of you. Therefore, a sincere thank you to all of you.

I have had a personal doctor at MD medicine since 2017. From the very first visit, I entered the above-standard world of the health concession: a polite reception at the clearly arranged main entrance, a bright waiting room without crowds, an examination time at the agreed time in a modern and pleasantly equipped clinic, a friendly nurse who knows me by name, a relaxed and highly professional doctor who has time both to listen and to treat me. In the same building, I can also have a laboratory and many other health services performed. I can arrange orders, referrals, prescriptions, advice via email or by phone, which someone always answers... The high-quality system of MD medicine works not only for the benefit of the patient's health, but also dignity.
