<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong>ANAESTHESIA</strong> provides absence of pain during a surgery. To achieve this, several different therapeutic approaches are available. We plan and establish the best possible kind of anaesthesia and discuss it with each patient in the Pre-Anaesthetic Consultation and will explain the benefits of our choice, as well as, the possible need or additional investigations. This will secure the <strong><em>safest possible anaesthesia</em></strong> for our patients.</span></span></p>
