Anaesthesia Q&A with Dr Anton Krige

Patients sensitive to stimuli like light and noise should inform their surgeon, pre-operative clinic staff, anaesthetist, and anaesthetic nurse multiple times to ensure it is noted and accommodated. This information should be included in the morning operation list team brief to ensure the necessary modifications are made. Additionally, patients are encouraged to disclose all medications, vitamins, and supplements, including homeopathic remedies, to the anaesthetic team, as certain substances—like garlic, ginkgo, and St. John’s Wort—may increase surgical risks such as excessive bleeding or prolonged anaesthesia effects.
