for my Pre-Op Questionnaire and information on preparing for your anaesthetic.


As an Anaesthetist, I am a medical specialist who helps you through your operation. I have spent 16+ years studying and training to look after you before, during and after your operation. I am an Australian doctor that is officially recognised as a consultant in the specialty of anaesthesia.

On the day of surgery it is my job to get you through your procedure in the safest and most comfortable fashion. I will assess you in the pre-operative area before we move into the operating theatre. Monitoring is then applied assisting me in ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the operation. After I have inserted an intravenous cannula, I will administer a relaxing medicine before oxygen will be given through a mask. More medicine then makes you unconscious before I place a breathing tube.

Occasionally, I perform a spinal anaesthetic instead, or in addition to, the general anaesthetic. Other procedures may also be necessary to get you through the surgery in the safest fashion. Your surgeon then performs the surgery whilst I continue the anaesthetic, monitoring your every moment. At the end of the operation I remove the breathing tube before waking you up, and you are then watched closely whilst you recover.
