Anesthesiology is a branch of medicine that allows safe usage of medical drugs to induce a reversible state of total or partial lack of responsiveness to surgical procedures, so that they can be carried out smoothly, without causing any distress and inconvenience to the patient.

The Department of Anesthesiology at Vedanta Hospital provides anesthesia services to all surgical specialties like cardiac, pediatric surgery including neonates, vascular and endovascular, endo-urology and orthopedics including trauma and joint replacements and gynecology. Pre-anesthesia check-up prior to any surgery is mandatory in order to decide on which modality of anesthesia is suitable for each patient. The department includes skilled and experienced anesthesiologists who are also qualified in pain medicine including labor analgesia. Pain management is a sub specialty of anesthesiology used by many medical specialties as an approach for easing the suffering and improving the quality of life for those living with chronic pain.
