Goverment Medical College

Introduction

Anesthesia department was established in 2015, and it is located at District Hospital Building , OT Complex, 2nd floor, Main Road, Chandrapur.

Overview

• Anaesthesia means reversible loss of sensation and can be divided into Regional Anaesthesia (blockade of nerve transmission) or General Anaesthesia (a reversible state of unconsciousness).

• General Anaesthesia often comprises a triad of hypnosis, analgesia and muscle relaxation.

• General Anaesthesia can be divided into three stages: induction, maintenance and emergence.

• Under General Anaesthesia airway tone and reflexes are lost and the airway must be maintained with manual manoeuvres, adjuncts (Guedel, laryngeal mask airways) or definitive devices which also protect the airway from regurgitation and aspiration (e.g. endotracheal tubes).

• General Anaesthesia leads to multi-system physiological changes particularly at induction and emergence.

• Other aspects of perioperative care central to anaesthetic practice include thermal homeostasis, fluid balance, positioning, avoidance of awareness, analgesia and patient safety.

• In Regional Anaesthesia, nerve transmission is blocked, and the patient may stay awake or be sedated or anaesthetized during a procedure. Techniques used include:
o Central Neuroaxial Blocks ( Spinal / Epidural / Caudal Anaesthesia) o Local Anaesthetic field block
o Peripheral Nerve Block

Mission

- Our mission is to introduce our subject to the Under-Graduates & its importance.

- During there curriculum they should learn the basics of life supporting measures, for eg. BLS , CPR, Bag & Ventilation, how to secure Airway & Intravenous lines, Laryngoscopy & Endotracheal Intubation.

- Further we can teach them various modalities of Anaesthesia, Anaesthetic Drugs, Machines & Equipments, ALS, Defibrillators & Ventilators.

Vision

- In near future we are planning to start Post Graduate Degree and Diploma courses for medical students and Medicolegal CME programme for Medical officer as well as Undergraduates.

- We are planning to carry out academic sessions like Journal presentations, Case presentations, Seminars.
