Anesthesia literally means "numbness, insensitivity". Under anesthesia, patients undergo a painless surgical process. In order for the operations to end successfully, it is very important to follow the patient closely and to look at the patient holistically. In this sense, it is very important to observe the patient and to interpret these observations. In our anesthesia laboratory, we provide our students with trainings that will give them this awareness.
Anesthesia Technicians are health professionals who apply medical methods related to the anesthesia of the patient in all kinds of surgeries according to the physician's instructions and assist the physician in anesthesia applications. In addition, anesthesia technicians control all devices and equipment to be used in anesthesia and prepare them for anesthesia application, check whether the connections of central gas sources are correct, oxygen, nitrogen protoxide, check the fullness and connections of the cylinders. Prepares the patient for the necessary drugs and materials, anesthesia applications and monitoring according to the anesthesia method to be applied. Assists the anesthesiology and reanimation specialist in the safe administration, maintenance and termination of anesthesia.

Our aim
Üsküdar University Anesthesia Laboratory aims to provide basic anesthesiology knowledge and skills to our technicians who will be trained in this field. Our students develop their medical skills by practicing on a one-to-one model in laboratories. In our laboratories, all necessary applications for anesthesia such as applications for providing airway patency (balloon valve mask application, endotracheal intubation application, etc.), cardiopulmonary resuscitation application, catheter applications for drug administration in various ways (parenteral, intrathecal, etc.), use of anesthesia device, dose calculations and applications of drugs, introduction and preparation of materials used in anesthesia are taught to our students.
