Clinical Divisions

Anesthesiology

 This department provides medical care related to anesthesia, intensive care, and the pain clinic.

In particular:

1.Anesthesia

When undergoing surgery or examination, anesthesia reduces pain and stress stimulation. We can maintain the respiration and the circulation of patients. They are administrated sedatives and opioids that makes pain free, and controlled the depth of anesthesia. It makes them safe and secure.

2.Intensive care

The patients who are severe and high risk are treated in Intensive Care Unit. They come from Department of Emergency, Operating room, and also ward. We provide intensive care to the patient who needs respiratory, circulatory, and/or metabolic support with the other many kinds of physicians.

3.Pain clinic

We treat painful disease such as acute pain, chronic pain, neuralgia, refractory pain and/or cancer pain. As a treatment we have measurements and devices, with pain killers, nerve blocks, and so on.
