Departments
Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine
The Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine offers medical care for safety and effectiveness before, during, and after each operation by anesthetizing patients in operating rooms, managing patients in post-anesthesia rooms, intensive care units, and in pain clinic. Its clinical field not just covers operating rooms, but patient care in intensive care units, pain medicine, and emergency rooms.
As anesthesiology has been rapidly growing, the department is being equipped with new medicines and anesthesia units, and is divided into several specialties: cardiac anesthesia; transplantation anesthesia; cranial nerve anesthesia; obstetric anesthesia; pediatric anesthesia; geriatric anesthesia; and outpatient anesthesia. The segmentation allows doctors manage patients' anesthesia by their medical conditions, and help their recovery by carrying out pain reduction, and management of patients in critical condition.
Pain medicine offers intensive care such as nerve block, nerve impulse, and thermal coagulation to patients who are suffering from acute and chronic pain, cancer pain, vascular pain, and other functional diseases, so that patients are able to return their ordinary life with less pain, and better physical functions.
