Blood conservation strategies are implemented and protocols are followed to minimise blood loss during surgery. The availability of an inhouse Regional Blood bank with the facility to get blood and blood component therapy at any time gives us the opportunity to do major surgical interventions and adequately resuscitate patients with major injuries. The rapid blood transport system facilitates the arrival of blood from the Blood bank to the operation theatre in split seconds.
The availability of Fiberoptic Bronchoscope, Video Laryngoscope and Airway gadgets aids us in doing complex cases with upper airway challenges.
We prioritize patient-centric care by offering a range of services within our Medical center. Our collaboration with the 24-hour laboratory services, in-house pharmacy, clinical pharmacist, excellent physiotherapy department, and dietetics department enables us to deliver comprehensive care throughout the perioperative period
Deep venous thrombosis in the postoperative period is prevented by both mechano prophylaxis with the help of an Intermittent Pneumatic Compression device and chemoprophylaxis.
