Clinical focus

As a specialist in anesthesiology and reanimation, Dr. Bataa is involved in the anesthetic care of patients and in the medical management of patients who need close monitoring and organ support. His areas of focus, as listed in his professional profile, are:

• Intensive care treatment – the medical management of patients who require monitoring and support in an intensive care setting.
• Palliative care – care directed at the relief of symptoms and the comfort of patients with serious illness.
• Advanced life support – the emergency management of patients whose breathing or circulation is compromised.
• Pain management – the assessment and treatment of pain within an anesthesiology framework.

Whether a given form of care is appropriate depends on the individual patient’s condition, overall health and existing treatment. Dr. Bataa reviews each case on its own merits, and any plan is discussed with the patient and, where relevant, with the other specialists involved in their care. Anesthetic and critical-care decisions are made after a clinical assessment and cannot be finalised on the basis of documents alone.

How Dr. Bataa works with international patients

Dr. Bataa consults in 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 – for example 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 available options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be a practical way to review a case before travel or to discuss questions after a hospital stay; a video consultation does not replace a clinical examination where one is required.
