Anesthesiology and intensive care

The department uses all modern methods of anesthesia and intensive therapy; all techniques of general and regional anesthesia are performed here. Spinal anesthesia is the preferred method for cesarean delivery, as this method nullifies the negative effect of drugs on fetus. Method of anesthesia is chosen individually for each woman giving birth, by a mutual decision of the obstetrician-gynecologist and the anesthesiologist. A long-term epidural anesthesia technique, an effective way of relieving the pain throughout a delivery, is widely used for cesarean delivery. Epidural anesthesia is usually performed at the request of pregnant women, as long as it is in compliance with medical obstetric indications.

The department carries out treatment to patients in extremely critical conditions, regardless of etiology.

The following pathologies are the most important directions of the department’s activity:

-obstetric sepsis, obstetric hemorrhage, gynecological complications

– neurological injuries

– post-hypoxic brain injuries

– nosocomial and severe community-acquired pneumonia
