Anaesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during and after surgery. It encompasses anaesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine.

At Edge Day Hospital, our resident anaesthesiologist will choose the right type of anaesthesia depending on the type of procedure you are doing. The four types are general anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia, monitored anaesthesia care (sedation), and local anaesthesia.
