The Department of Anaesthesia, led by Dr. Nikhil Hiremath and Dr. Sandeep Patil, plays a critical role in the hospital. The department is deeply committed to best practices and continuous quality improvement. We have two fully equipped operation theatres that cater to all major adult surgeries, with a special focus on paediatric heart surgery.
Our team provides comprehensive pre-operative assessment, anaesthesia administration, and post-operative medical care for patients undergoing various surgical procedures. Detailed patient evaluation, information sharing, and patient education are offered before administering anaesthesia to ensure safety and preparedness. In addition to inpatient and outpatient surgical anaesthesia services, the anaesthetists at 7 Orange Hospital also manage cases requiring non-surgical diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
The department features a well-coordinated Acute Pain Service, supported by dedicated team members committed to the highest standards of their specialty. The staff is recognized for their leadership, clinical expertise, and technical proficiency. They are well-trained in procedures involving cardiopulmonary bypass and use the latest technology and safe techniques to maximize patient comfort and safety.
