Treating patients at their most critical and vulnerable times in their hospital journey requires a lot of attention to detail, an ability to predict and anticipate and to intervene immediately.
With these abilities we can make a real difference in the patient experience and their outcome.
Associate Professor Kerstin Wyssusek
Director Department of Anaesthesia RBWH, Metro North Hospital and Health Service
Anaesthetists work within both the public and private sectors to provide perioperative care for patients of all ages before, during and after surgery. Anaesthetists not only provide anaesthesia and sedation for patients, they also administer airway management, resuscitate acutely unwell patients and provide pain management for patients. Anaesthetists often work within trauma and retrieval teams, and work collaboratively with intensive care and pain medicine specialists.
