Clinical focus

Anesthesiology and reanimation generally covers the assessment of patients before a procedure, the planning and administration of anesthesia, monitoring during the procedure and care in the recovery period. Dr. Zamanova’s involvement usually begins with a pre-anesthetic evaluation, in which the patient’s medical history, current medications, allergies and previous experiences with anesthesia are reviewed so that an appropriate anesthetic approach can be discussed. During a procedure the anesthesiologist is responsible for maintaining the patient’s vital functions and adjusting the anesthetic as needed; afterward the patient is followed through the early recovery phase, with attention to comfort, pain control and the management of any side effects.

Advanced life support refers to the structured management of patients whose circulation or breathing is severely compromised, including in critical and emergency situations. Palliative care is a further area of interest; in this setting an anesthesiologist’s experience with pain and symptom management may contribute to the care of patients with serious illness, alongside the treating team. The scope of Dr. Zamanova’s involvement in an individual case is determined together with the responsible clinical team and depends on the patient’s condition and the planned treatment.

How Dr. Zamanova works with international patients

Dr. Zamanova speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and 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; where anesthesia is planned, this usually includes a review of medications, allergies and any earlier reactions to anesthesia. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling.
