Clinical focus

Dr. Aydemir’s clinical work covers the two closely connected fields of anesthesiology and reanimation. On the anesthesia side, this includes anesthesia planning and perioperative support for patients undergoing surgical or interventional procedures, with attention to comfort and clinical safety before, during and after the procedure. On the reanimation side, his focus is on intensive care treatment, which involves the monitoring and support of patients whose condition requires continuous observation and organ support in an intensive care setting. Advanced life support forms part of this work and refers to the structured management of patients in acute, life-threatening situations.

His practice also includes palliative care, which is directed at patients living with complex and serious health conditions. In this context, the emphasis is on supportive care aimed at relieving symptoms and maintaining comfort, alongside or after other treatments. The specific approach in each case depends on the patient’s diagnosis, overall condition and the treatment plan agreed with the wider clinical team, and Dr. Aydemir works in coordination with the other specialists involved in a patient’s care.

How Dr. Aydemir works with international patients

Dr. Aydemir 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, 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 available options. Because anesthesia and intensive care are usually planned around a procedure or an ongoing course of treatment, the consultation often takes place in coordination with the other departments involved. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Aydemir before traveling, for example to review existing reports or to clarify what a planned anesthesia or intensive care process may involve.
