Introduction

The Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine diagnoses and treats various types of pain, including postoperative pain, as well as anesthesia required during surgery. To this end, the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain medicine selects the best anesthesia method during the operation and the appropriate preoperative evaluation to ensure a safe operation. After surgery, we strive to treat acute and chronic pain patients through a variety of procedures as well as pain management that accompanies surgery.

The Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine acts as a protector for surgical patients with customized anesthesia. Patients in the operating room will be given general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, and sleep anesthesia depending on the type of surgery. Anesthesia management of surgical patients requires not only maintaining the patient’s sleep state, but also providing professional management according to the underlying disease and the role of a ‘guardian’, such as identifying and responding to the patient’s condition in real time during surgery.

In addition, the department of anesthesiology and Pain medicine applies various procedures and treatment methods through a pain clinic, and provides professional treatment for various acute and chronic pain management for patients with pain, including postoperative pain.
