Yes. An initial assessment can be conducted through an online consultation to review your medical history, current medications, allergies, previous anesthesia experiences, and planned procedure. However, an online consultation cannot replace a physical examination or all required pre-anesthesia investigations. An in-person assessment may be necessary depending on your medical condition and the complexity of the procedure.

Please provide details of your previous surgeries, anesthesia experiences, known allergies, existing medical conditions, current medications and supplements, and any previous complications related to anesthesia. Relevant medical reports, investigation results, and hospital discharge summaries should also be shared where available. This information helps ensure a safer and more appropriate anesthesia plan.

Remote assessment involves reviewing your medical history, current health status, medications, allergies, previous anesthesia records, and details of the planned procedure. Additional investigations or an in-person examination may be required to assess your airway, cardiovascular and respiratory health, and overall fitness for anesthesia. The final risk assessment depends on the available clinical information and any necessary physical examinations.

The type of anesthesia is determined based on the nature and duration of the procedure, your medical history, current health condition, personal preferences, and the potential risks and benefits of each option. Depending on the procedure, suitable options may include local anesthesia, regional anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia. The recommended approach will be discussed with you before a final decision is made.

Yes. You will receive specific instructions regarding fasting, medications, and other necessary precautions before surgery. Pls inform your anesthesiologist about all prescription medications, over the counter medicines, supplements, allergies, and any recent illness. Don't stop prescribed medications or change their dosage without medical advice. Follow the fasting instructions provided by your healthcare team, and arrange for an accompanying adult if sedation or general anesthesia is planned.

Post-anesthesia care includes monitoring your recovery, pain levels, nausea, and overall condition, together with guidance on medication use, hydration, activity restrictions, and wound care where applicable. Seek urgent medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, severe or worsening pain, persistent vomiting, unusual confusion, or other concerning symptoms. You will receive appropriate discharge instructions and guidance on when to seek further medical review.
