Dr Eugene Neo

Dr Eugene Neo is a specialist paediatric anaesthetist. They will be involved in a patient's medical care before, during, and after their procedure. A pre-anaesthetic assessment will be conducted by telephone a day or two prior, in addition to meeting the patient on the day of surgery, to formulate an anaesthetic plan. Risks of general anaesthesia will also be discussed, and any concerns or questions addressed. The pre-anaesthetic assessment will include previous anaesthetics and family history of anaesthetic problems, past medical history, adverse drug reactions, current medications, recent coughs and colds or illnesses, and a plan for pre-anaesthetic fasting. Dr Neo's anaesthetic information sheet states that adequate fasting prior to any anaesthetic is important to minimise the risk of inhaling gastric contents during the anaesthetic, as this may have extremely serious consequences. The fasting guidelines they provide are adopted from current guidelines at the Royal Melbourne Hospital (adults) and the Royal Children's Hospital (children). Usual medications should be taken as normal with a small amount of water, except treatment of diabetes. Adults: No food or fluids for 6 hours prior to anaesthesia. Children over 6 months of age: No food or non-clear fluids (e.g. milk, orange juice) for 6 hours prior to anaesthesia. Clear fluids e.g. water, cordial allowed up to 2 hours prior to anaesthesia. Unless notified otherwise, the start times for anaesthetics are 8:00 a.m. (morning list) and 1:00 p.m. (afternoon list).

"Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions."
