Anaesthesia and postoperative pain therapy
Modern anaesthesia goes far beyond the elimination of consciousness and pain. It provides comprehensive monitoring and control of all essential bodily functions to ensure the patient's safety and well-being throughout the surgical procedure.
Continuous monitoring and control includes:
- breathing
- circulation
- fluid and electrolyte balance
- kidney function
Breathing, circulation, depth of anaesthesia and muscle relaxation are precisely measured and controlled, adapted to the respective phase of the operation. Special warming mats and warmed infusions prevent the patient from cooling down. Blood-saving measures, such as the re-transfusion of processed blood, minimise the need to use foreign blood products. A targeted pain concept ensures that the patient remains pain-free even after the operation.
Surgical intensive care unit
Critically ill patients are treated in the intensive care unit following accidents and major operations. Continuous monitoring of bodily functions and freedom from pain have top priority. As soon as the organ functions are stable, the patient is gradually weaned off the devices.
The St. Vinzenz Hospital specialises in the treatment of severe disorders of several organ systems, so-called ‘multi-organ failure,’ as well as the treatment of septic shock. The expertise available locally is also recognised internationally through numerous scientific papers and lectures.
