Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Who is an anesthesiologist?
Doctors who administer anesthetics, which are drugs injected into a patient so that they do not feel pain during surgery, are called anesthesiologists.
Q.What is the role of an anesthesiologist?
Apart from administering the anesthetic agent so that the patient will not feel pain during surgery, an anesthesiologist also:
- Adjust the dosage of anesthetic so the patient does not wake up in between the surgery.
- They monitor the patient’s heart rate and rhythm.
- They keep a check on the patient’s fluid balance.
- And control the vital measures like breathing, body temperature, and blood pressure throughout the surgery.
Q.Is an anesthesiologist present during the entire surgery?
Yes, your anesthesiologist will be present in the operation theatre throughout the operation. They maintain the patient’s vitals and alter the dosage of the anesthetic so that the patient does not experience pain or distress.
Q.What if you stop breathing when under general anesthesia?
As general anesthetic agents relax the muscles in the respiratory system, you will not be able to breathe on your own. To help you breathe, oxygen masks or breathing tubes are used.
Q.What are the stages of anesthesia?
The stages of anesthesia are:
- Stage 1 - Induction - It is the stage between the administration of the medicine and the loss of consciousness.
- Stage 2 - Excitement stage - After the loss of consciousness, the breathing becomes erratic, pupils dilate, and the patient’s breathing becomes irregular.
- Stage 3 - Surgical anesthesia - This is when the surgery begins. The muscles relax and the breathing is depressed.
- Stage 4 - Overdose - When too much drug is administered, the respiratory and cardiovascular system collapse.
Q.Can you consume alcohol after anesthesia?
Avoid drinking alcohol for 24 to 48 hours after general anesthesia.

Q.What are the common side effects of general anesthesia?
The common side effects include:
- Temporary memory loss.
- Dizziness.
- Headache.
- Shivering.
