Hospital-based procedures are performed by responsible specialist physicians at selected accredited partner hospitals, including JCI-accredited institutions where clinically appropriate.
Anesthesia Safety Protocols: Preoperative Assessment, Monitoring & Clinical Standards
A comprehensive clinical guide explaining anesthesia types (local, sedation, general), preoperative risk screening (ASA classification), and intraoperative vital monitoring.
Patient safety during surgical interventions fundamentally depends on standardized anesthesia evaluation and delivery by qualified hospital anesthesiology teams. Whether undergoing local anesthesia with conscious sedation for hair restoration or general endotracheal anesthesia for bariatric or body contouring surgery, comprehensive preoperative risk profiling and continuous multiparameter monitoring form the foundation of clinical safety. Meva Clinic coordinates surgical treatments within accredited hospital facilities in Istanbul. Learn more on our About Us and All Treatments pages.

Preoperative Assessment and the ASA Physical Status Classification
Anesthesia Modalities Across Surgical Specialties
| Anesthetic Modality | Typical Surgical Applications | Patient Consciousness Level | Airway Management |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local Anesthesia (Tumescent) | FUE / Sapphire Hair Transplantation. | Fully awake; targeted numbing of scalp donor and recipient areas. | Spontaneous breathing; no airway instrumentation. |
| Intravenous Conscious Sedation | Dental implantology, minor facial contouring. | Relaxed, drowsy state; able to respond to verbal cues. | Supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula; spontaneous breathing. |
| General Endotracheal Anesthesia | Bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve/bypass), abdominoplasty, rhinoplasty. | Complete unconsciousness and muscle relaxation. | Endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask with mechanical ventilation. |
Continuous Intraoperative Monitoring and Post-Anesthesia Care (PACU)
Frequently Asked Questions
Why must I fast (no food or liquids) before general anesthesia?↓
Fasting prevents pulmonary aspiration—the rare entry of stomach contents into the lungs when protective airway reflexes are relaxed during anesthesia.
What should I tell the anesthesiologist during the pre-op interview?↓
Disclose all prescription medications, over-the-counter supplements, tobacco/alcohol use, family history of anesthesia reactions, and known drug allergies.
