Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine

At the acute stage hospital, our department plays a vital role that could affect hospital operation. It is crucial to have policies that demonstrate our abilities where most needed in the hospital. Following are our policies;

  1. We will treat each patient comprehensively as a representative of generalist.
  2. We thrive to keep improving our knowledge and skills without being satisfied with the current status quo.
  3. We will actively join activities outside organization to utilize our specialties.
  4. We will offer EPRs (Enhanced Recovery Programs) through seamless treatments before, during and after the surgery.
  5. We will not decline “anesthesia”. However we will not be blindly following a surgeon’s request, but will offer the best treatment for the patient.
