Department of Anaesthesia
The Department of Anaesthesia at Devi Hospital closely with surgeons, obstetricians and other doctors to provide general, total intravenous and regional anesthesia for surgeries, childbirth and other medical procedures for people of all ages, children through seniors.
Medical Services Offered
Available 24 hours/day, seven days/week, we provide epidurals for pain relief as well as anesthesia for c-sections and other obstetrical procedures. For women who want or need anesthesia for childbirth, an epidural offers the advantage of providing excellent pain relief without sedating either the mother or baby. About 80% of pregnant women undergoing labor for the first time choose to have an epidural.
Pediatric anesthesia is used for a variety of procedures and medical tests as well as for surgery. No matter how small or how extensive the procedure may be, you can feel confident that we will monitor your child constantly, remaining with him/her the entire time.
A slip disc injury or as it is medically known a disc prolapse may sometimes be caused by a sudden strenuous action although it usually develops gradually following repeated overuse of certain tasks and sporting activities. Other causes include stress fractures with genetics also playing a role in its occurrence.
Any disc in the entire spine can prolapse or burst, the most common ones to which this happens are the lowest two as the stresses experienced by the spine are the greatest at these levels. Dr. Sudheer has extensive experience in this field having attended to hundreds of such cases over the years.
