Preparing for your anaesthesia

Anaesthesia is one of the greatest discoveries of modern medicine. In fact, many of today’s operations, especially for the very young, very old, or very ill would not be possible without it.
Most people will need the care of an anaesthetist at some stage in their lives.
We've created this video about preparing for your anaesthesia to help you feel more relaxed about having a surgical procedure under general anaesthetic.
Australia and New Zealand are two of the safest places in the world to have a general anaesthetic. And all anaesthetists are highly trained specialist doctors.
