This medical speciality involves the use of drugs or other agents that blocks or temporarily takes away the body’s sensation including the feeling of pain. Anaesthesiological services include: General Anaesthesia With this type of anaesthesia administration, the patient will enter a state of complete and controlled unconsciousness for the entire duration of the surgical operation. Regional Anaesthesia An injection of anaesthetic is administered to numb a particular region of the patient's body. The patient will remain conscious but free from any feeling of pain. Local Anaesthesia An anaesthetic injection is aimed and administered to a smaller portion of the body to numb it. The patient will remain conscious but free from any feeling of pain. An Anaesthesiologist’s Role An anaesthesiologist is a doctor who administers anaesthesia to a patient so they do not feel pain when they undergo surgery. Anaesthesiologists are fully trained medical doctors who specialise in the field of concocting and administering anaesthesia, ensuring that the administration of anaesthesia is conducted in a safe and secure manner. Their work extends before and after the operation in terms of pre-and post-surgical patient care. This includes preoperative evaluation, consultation with the surgical team and creating a plan for the anaesthesia tailored to fit each unique individual patient, the provision of pain control and proper post-operative management of patients. These specialists play a much wider role than just putting people to sleep for surgery. They are also involved in a range of other medical procedures, including carrying out assessments in critical care units, dealing with emergency situations, and giving advice about pain management. During surgery, the anaesthesiologist monitors the patient’s vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature among other vital signs. After successful surgery, anaesthesiologists oversee the patient’s recovery and manage their pain as they awaken.

It's most commonly used on the knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists and hips. As compared to open surgery, arthroscopy has a lower risk of infection, heals faster, less painful and patients are able to return to normal activities more quickly. An arthroscopy can be used to assess the level of joint damage resulting from an injury, such as a sports injury, or from underlying conditions that can cause joint damage, such as osteoarthritis. The procedure can also be used to treat a range of joint problems and conditions, including: Repairing damaged cartilage Draining away any excess fluid Frozen shoulder Carpal tunnel syndrome Removing fragments of loose bone or cartilage Treating arthritis Torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) Temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Sports Surgery Sports injuries may happen during exercise, sports participation or any type of physical activity. The most common sports injuries are strains and sprains, which are when the ligaments have been stretched past their limits and have resulted in a tear. Depending on the severity of the injury, different types of treatment are available. Surgery is likely if a person has sustained a serious injury or as a result of persistent symptoms that were not successful following the use of other treatments prior to the operation. Sports surgery can repair damaged soft tissue and realign bones and joints. However, not all injuries require surgery. Some sports injuries may be treated through physical activity.
