Department of Anaesthesia

The Department of Anaesthesia offers a series of measures designed to contribute to the patient's safety and well-being:

Operating theatres that are equipped to the highest standards and fully up to date
A recovery room staffed day and night
The round-the-clock presence of a anaesthetist

Indeed the fight against post-operative pain is a priority with a full range of interventions possible, such as the use of local/regional anaesthetics or PCA morphine pumps.

Any woman may ask for an obstetrical epidural anaesthetic, night or day. The procedure is free of charge. In fact it is used in around 95% of obstetrical cases.

Staff

There are 5 full time Physician Anaesthetists:

Docteur Jean RIUS - Head of Department
Docteur Carole BARNICHON - Deputy
Docteur Richard KOHN - Deputy
Docteur Brigitte SITBON - Deputy
Docteur Jacques WILMOTTE - Deputy

The anaesthetists do their best to ensure that patient's stay in hospital is as short and as comfortable as possible. To this end a certain number of procedures may be performed on a Day-patient or an Out-patient basis.
