Our medical specialists use modern anesthetic proce­dures and methods for post­operative pain therapy and work with specially trained nursing staff to care for our patients during and after surgery. Detailed, ex­planatory dis­cussion with our medical specia­lists before any surgical proce­dure reduces anxiety, and pro­vides insights into indivi­dual sensi­tivities and pre­ferences for anes­thesia. Our anesthe­tists are also available on call within the hospital for emer­gency medical care.

Range of services

  • Preoperative risk assessment, choice and discussion of appropriate anesthetic procedure
  • Standard general and local anesthesia
  • Pain therapy for childbirth, using epidural anesthesia or “walking epidural”
  • Postoperative pain therapy
  • Treatment for patients with acute or chronic pain

Recovery room

In our recovery room at Confraternität & Goldenes Kreuz Private Hospital, patients who have had surgery under general anesthetic are cared for round-the-clock by specia­list inten­sive care physi­cians and nurses – for as long as ne­cessary, until they are medi­cally stable and pain-free, and can be trans­ferred to a normal ward.

The attending doctor will decide when a patient is ready to be trans­ferred to the ward.

We are naturally very happy for our younger patients to be ac­compa­nied by mum or dad into the opera­ting theater until they are un­conscious.

Intensive care: For your safety in case of need!

Following an operation, or if a patient’s condi­tion suddenly be­comes worse, he or she may need close moni­toring using special equip­ment and specia­list care from inten­sive care nurses and anesthe­tists. The fact that these facili­ties and staff are avai­lable within this hospital is an im­portant and distinc­tive safety factor for our patients. Con­frater­nität & Goldenes Kreuz Private Hospital has an officially approved inten­sive care unit (ICU level 1) and an inten­sive moni­toring unit (IMCU) which are available 24/7. This means that there is a specia­list anesthe­tist and an intensive care nurse in the hos­pital 24 hours a day to ensure you are safely cared for. In addi­tion to modern techni­cal infra­structure, constant medical moni­toring, and direct coordina­tion of treat­ment and after-care, we also have our own storage facili­ties for donated blood in case of need, and you can also bank your own blood for use in sur­gery.
