Anesthesiology and Patient Care Approach
Anesthesiology involves much more than administering medication during an operation. The anesthesiologist assesses a patient’s medical history before a procedure, helps determine an appropriate anesthesia plan, monitors vital functions during surgery, and manages recovery afterward.
Factors such as heart disease, lung conditions, kidney problems, diabetes, sleep apnea, previous reactions to anesthesia, and the type of procedure can influence anesthesia planning. The American Society of Anesthesiologists notes that these health factors may affect anesthesia risk and should be reviewed before surgery.
Dr. Mendonca’s academic and clinical work also reflects an interest in airway management and perioperative safety. His recent publications include anesthesia-related case reports involving difficult airway situations and patients requiring additional precautions because of underlying medical conditions.
