Frequently Asked Questions About Anaesthesia in Marbella
Is it common to feel worried about anaesthesia?
Yes. Many patients feel more anxious about the anaesthetic than about the procedure itself, which is why clear explanation and reassurance are important parts of care.
Can I arrange a pre-operative consultation even if my procedure will take place elsewhere?
Yes. A pre-operative consultation can still be useful to discuss concerns, receive advice and prepare properly even if the operation or test is scheduled at another clinic or hospital.
What kind of anaesthesia or sedation is usually used for gastroscopy or colonoscopy?
In most cases, intravenous sedation is used. It acts quickly and is tailored to the patient’s age, weight, medical history and current health status.
What should I do before the procedure?
You will be given clear instructions regarding fasting, medication and any other preparation needed before the procedure. Following these instructions carefully is important for safety.
Will I feel pain or be aware of what is happening during the procedure?
The main sedative effect generally fades relatively quickly after the procedure, although the body still needs time to recover fully afterwards.
How long does it usually take for the sedation to wear off?
The main sedative effect generally fades relatively quickly after the procedure, although the body still needs time to recover fully afterwards.
Can I drive home after sedation or anaesthesia?
No. Even if you feel alert, reaction times may still be impaired, so you should not drive until the following day and should be accompanied home.
Is the anaesthetic plan tailored to each patient?
Yes. The anaesthetic approach is always adjusted to the individual after reviewing medical history, current medication and general health.
