Administrative and Anesthesiology Department

The Anesthesiology Department at S. V. Malayan Ophthalmological Center fully meets modern standards. Our doctors are proficient in all current anesthesia methods, and the unit is equipped with the latest technology.

All surgeries are performed under anesthesiology supervision, which helps prevent complications related to the patient's overall health. Depending on indications (or patient request), general anesthesia or sedation is administered. Notably, our doctors are the only specialists in the region who use dexmedetomidine for sedation, ensuring both hemodynamic stability and patient comfort during surgery.

The department’s doctors ensure patient safety from the moment of admission to discharge, coordinating necessary medical care and consultations with other specialists.

The entire staff regularly undergoes training and actively participates in professional associations.

As a teaching base of the Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Department of Yerevan State Medical University, the team shares both theoretical and practical knowledge with students.

Thanks to on-call shifts, the department operates 24/7, ensuring continuous patient safety and comfort.

After the decision for surgery is made, every patient first receives a consultation with an anesthesiologist. During the consultation—based on a properly filled-out medical questionnaire—the doctor determines whether additional specialist consultation is needed or, if not, defines the type and depth of anesthesia. The whole process takes up to 5 minutes and allows surgery to proceed quickly, safely, and without waiting.

During surgery, we provide the following types of care:

1. Anesthetic monitoring – The patient is awake and pain-free under local anesthesia, connected to monitoring equipment. If needed, the anesthesiologist manages any fluctuations or complaints.
2. Anesthesiological sedation – Sedative medications are administered under monitoring, inducing a light sleep state.
3. General anesthesia
