Anaesthesia Auckland Limited provides office facilities and business support services, including booking services, to a close affiliation of individual, independent, specialist anaesthetists working in private practice. Anaesthetic services are provided by the individual specialists who cover all anaesthetic sub-specialties and enjoy strong working relationships with all major private hospitals. Referrals to any anaesthetist affiliated with Anaesthesia Auckland Limited should be from medical specialists. Anaesthesia Auckland Limited is not, in itself, a health provider.
What is Anaesthesia?
You are given an anaesthetic when you have surgery so that you don’t feel pain during the operation. There are different types of anaesthesia and the type you receive will depend on a number of factors, such as the type of operation or procedure you are having and any underlying health problems. Your anaesthetic will be given to you by a doctor who has specialised in anaesthesia - your anaesthetist. Anaesthetic services are provided by your selected anaesthetist at your nominated hospital or surgical centre. No anaesthetic services are provided at the offices of Auckland Anaesthesia Limited. There are 3 main components of your anaesthetic care - preoperative assessment, the anaesthetic for surgery, and post-operative care in recovery and beyond.
Pre-operative Assessment
You will often be asked to fill in a health questionnaire before coming to hospital, usually given to you by your surgeon. This is reviewed by your anaesthetist prior to meeting you, and is an important part of the assessment process.
Your anaesthetist will meet you some time prior to surgery, commonly on the actual day. You will be asked questions about your pre-existing health state, previous anaesthetic experiences, medications you take and other issues. The anaesthetic plan will be discussed with you and your consent obtained in writing. You will have the chance to ask any questions you might have at this stage.
The anaesthetist may prescribe medications for you to take prior to theatre, such as pain relief medicines, stomach acid medicines, and/or sedatives.
Care During Surgery
Your anaesthetist is present with you throughout your surgery or procedure. Your anaesthetist constantly monitors your vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, level of oxygenation etc. Medications to control your level of consciousness, post-op pain, and other factors are administered. Intravenous fluids and sometimes blood transfusions are given as needed.
Postoperative Care
When your operation is over, you will be taken to a special recovery area where your condition will be monitored as you recover from the anaesthetic. Once you are awake, comfortable and stable you are moved to a hospital ward bed if you are staying overnight, or a second stage recovery area from where you go home.

Procedures / Treatments
You are put into a state of unconsciousness either by the injection of an anaesthetic medication into a vein or by breathing in a mixture of gases. You will be unaware of what is happening around you and you feel no pain from the surgery. You will be constantly monitored and the anaesthetic adjusted as necessary throughout the operation.

A nerve block numbs the part of the body where the surgeon operates.This is often used for surgery on the hand,arm,hip or knee and for Caesarian sections.Examples include spinal and epidural anaesthesia,arm blocks and eye blocks.Local anaesthetic is injected near the major nerve pathways to the part of the body where the operation is.You can be wide awake or if you prefer the anaesthetist can give you other drugs to make you relaxed and drowsy.

Complications may include: the patient being allergic to the anaesthetic, the dose given may be too high, or the anaesthetic effect has taken effect faster than wanted. Where complications occur, it is generally in connection with general anaesthesia. Airway obstruction: Irritation to the breathing passages causing spasms and interfering with breathing. Nerve damage: Some local anaesthetics can cause long term nerve damage, while some general anaesthetics can inflict brain damage. Brain damage will also result from depressed blood circulation. Malignant hyperthermia: An uncommon severe reaction to a general anaesthetic that results in extremely high body temperatures, blood pressure and heart rate. This rare reaction has a tendency to run in families. Awareness: A much talked about, but in fact a very rare, occurrence. It means that the patient appears asleep, but is not fully unconscious. This only happens when muscle relaxants are given. The patient cannot talk, move or speak. Newer technology can help an anaesthetist to reliably monitor for signs that this is happening. Complications of Epidural and Spinal Blocks: decrease in blood pressure having to remain still for administration (very difficult when in labour) problems in bladder emptying backache more serious complications are rare, but include convulsions, infection and death.

Local anaesthetic is injected directly into or around the area being operated on, causing that area to go numb. It is commonly used for minor procedures such as skin lesion removal, and in dentistry. Either your surgeon or anaesthetist may administer local anaesthetic. You may be wide awake, or sedatives given to make you sleepy and relaxed.
