About the Department of Anesthesiology at ATOS Orthoparc Clinic Cologne

The Department of Anesthesiology at the ATOS ORTHOPARC Clinic Cologne offers all modern methods of anesthesia: general anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, peridural anesthesia, special treatments for postoperative pain, etc. Due to the high professionalism of physicians, state-of-the-art technical equipment and an individual approach, each patient receives the safest type of anesthesia. The department is headed by Dr. Eddo Gross.

Preparation for anesthesia begins with individual counseling and necessary examinations, after which the specialists will select the best type of anesthesia in accordance with the personal needs and possible risks (depending on the type of intervention). The doctor necessarily informs the patient about the type of anesthesia that will be used, and about postoperative treatment.

After the operation, the patient is transferred to a specially equipped room for anesthesia recovery, which is equipped with the state-of-the-art monitoring systems that allow to fully control bodily functions during the recovery phase after anesthesia and surgery. Right here, the competent specialists of the department begin to conduct intensive postoperative pain therapy, which is the basis for rapid postoperative mobilization and rehabilitation.

In addition, the department's infrastructure includes an intensive care unit for monitoring and treating patients requiring intensive care.

The service range of the department includes:

  • General anesthesia means that the patient is immersed in the unconscious state (the phase of deep sleep), in which he/she feels nothing throughout the operation. The analgesic is injected intravenously. Then there may be used a mask, a laryngeal mask airway, intubation, modern anesthetic gases, TIVA (total intravenous anesthesia). Throughout the operation, the latest technologies are used to monitor blood circulation and metabolism, to regulate any abnormalities.
  • Spinal anesthesia is a partial pain relief that allows performing all surgeries on the lower half of the body. This type of anesthesia is mainly used in hip and knee replacement surgeries, operations on the knee, foot, etc. The advantages of spinal anesthesia include the absence of a large load on the entire body, and especially on the cardiovascular system and the brain. Consequently, this type of anesthesia is of particular importance for the elderly and helps them to recover faster. The duration of spinal anesthesia is about 3-4 hours, but it can be significantly increased by increasing the dose of the drug. Thus, both small and extensive interventions can be performed.
  • Peridural anesthesia is used for very extensive operations in the lower body and for the elimination of postoperative pain.
  • Special methods of pain therapy (for example, local infiltration anesthesia, nerve blockade as a regional anesthesia, administration of drugs through catheter devices)
  • Homeopathy (homeopathic remedies, such as Arnica C 30, Nux vomica C 30, Phosphorus C 30, Opium C 30, Ferrum metallicum C 30  and many others)
  • Other methods of anesthesia
