About the department

Surgery and Intensive Care is a department with wide interfaces.

Anesthetic assistance is provided for several emergency calls throughout the house as well as curosurf treatment. In addition anesthesia for DC-conversion and ECT treatment.

The Perioperative Unit is an active participant in efficient and patient-safe execution of the surgical program through preparation for operation; e.g., establishing blocks and preparing acute patients for hip and abdominal surgery.
