Dr. Barut graduated from Ege University Faculty of Medicine in 1983 and completed his specialty training at the Haydarpaşa Numune Training and Research Hospital Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation. He has been part of Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 1992. He is a member of the İstanbul Medical Chamber and of Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü.

Clinical focus

The core of Dr. Barut’s work is anesthesiology, the medical care of patients who need anesthesia for surgical or diagnostic procedures. A central part of this is the pre-anesthesia assessment, in which the patient’s medical history, current medications, previous experiences with anesthesia and relevant test results are reviewed in order to identify factors that may affect the choice and conduct of anesthesia. Based on this assessment, anesthesia planning is carried out in coordination with the surgical team, taking into account the type of procedure, the patient’s general condition and any coexisting medical conditions.

Dr. Barut also provides perioperative care, which covers the period before, during and immediately after a procedure. This includes monitoring the patient while anesthesia is administered, managing physiological responses during the operation and overseeing recovery from anesthesia. In addition, his work includes reanimation care, the intensive medical support of patients whose vital functions require close monitoring and stabilization. The approach is individual to each patient, and the details of anesthesia and perioperative management are decided together with the treating physicians on the basis of the clinical picture.

How Dr. Barut works with international patients

Dr. Barut consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as laboratory results, MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, operative notes and discharge summaries, arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options, including the anesthesia-related considerations relevant to a planned procedure. For international patients, a video consultation is available, which can be used to review medical records and discuss questions about anesthesia planning before travel. Any anesthesia plan is finalized only after an in-person assessment, since the final decisions depend on the patient’s condition at the time of the procedure.
