Anesthesia

During the meeting with the anesthesiologist, after the general condition assessment and detailed information, our anesthesiologist builds a relationship of trust with the patient and diverts his/her attention from negative thoughts.

Then, with a cable-free, studio-quality headphone, we play a special, soothing music for our patient, which induces a pleasant, relaxed, meditative state after just a few minutes of listening. In the meantime, the painless vein check takes place, during which our doctor places an infusion cannula into one of the veins running on the patient’s arm or back of the hand.

In addition to continuous music playing, the anesthesiologist begins the intravenous, medicated sedation, by using a so-called TCI infusion pump. Then the patient’s consciousness goes into a narrowed state close to sleep, during which local anesthesia can be performed in the oral cavity without discomfort.

After that, the dental or oral surgery will start. The anesthesiologist is always by the patient’s side and constantly controls the depth of awake sedation. During the procedure, our patient maintains his own breathing and pharyngeal reflex, but the manipulation in the oral cavity does not cause discomfort or nausea. Drug treatment causes subsequent memory loss for the duration of the treatment.

At the end of the treatment, our anesthesiologist will stop the anesthetic and then stop playing the music. After this, the patient’s consciousness clears within a short time. After a further observation of up to two hours, after a control examination, the infusion cannula is removed, and our patient can then go home accompanied by a responsible adult.
