Anesthesiology

At Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg, our anesthesia services are built on a foundation of patient-centered care, innovation, education, and scientific research. Our team of anesthesiologists, many of whom hold additional board certifications in intensive care and emergency medicine, ensures the highest standards of safety and quality across multiple locations, including campuses at Sint-Jan Genk, Maas en Kempen Maaseik, and Sint-Barbara Lanaken.

Our department specializes in providing anesthesia for a wide range of surgical procedures, from cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, neurosurgery, major abdominal, urological and gynaecological surgery to complex maxillofacial oncological operations. Our commitment to excellence extends to our robust orthopedic service that emphasizes locoregional anesthesia techniques, focusing on optimal pain management and patient comfort. A highly dedicated team performs over 10.000 locoregional procedures each year for a wide range of procedures including orthopedics, abdominal, gynecological, thoracic, and more. The extensive experience ensures that patients receive precise and effective pain management tailored to their specific surgical needs. Furthermore, our expertise transcends conventional surgical settings, enabling us to provide specialized care for patients undergoing advanced neuroradiological procedures, complex vascular cases, and interventional cardiac procedures.

Comprehensive preoperative evaluations are a cornerstone of our practice. Our team conducts thorough assessments tailored to each patient’s unique needs, aiming to enhance both safety and outcomes throughout the perioperative period. By integrating specialized care with state-of-the-art facilities, we provide exceptional anesthesia services for all our patients.
