SURGERY


Our surgical suite is equipped with the latest and safest gas anesthetics (isoflurane, sevoflurane), available.

All surgeries are performed using strict sterile technique. Our intra-operative patient monitoring utilizes state of the art equipment:-

  • Capnography
  • Pulse oximetry
  • Doppler blood pressure measurement
  • Diatek monitor for continuous body temperature readings



    Maintaining adequate body heat during surgery is vitally important. A special circulating warm water heating pad is used for surgeries of shorter duration. For more prolonged surgeries, we use a Bair Hugger warming blanket (as used in human hospitals for children).
