Ordensklinikum Linz – Department of Anesthesia

The Department of Anesthesia at Ordensklinikum Linz Elisabethinen provides modern anesthesia and pain management procedures at the highest medical level. Every year, more than 22,000 anesthetics are performed across 24 operating theaters. Our mission is to ensure the safety and comfort of patients before, during, and after surgical interventions.

Services and Specialties

Our team of experienced anesthesiologists and specialized nursing staff offers comprehensive care using the latest medical techniques. Our services include:

• General anesthesia (full anesthesia) for complex surgical procedures

• Regional anesthesia such as spinal or nerve blocks for targeted pain relief

• Local anesthesia for minor operations and outpatient treatments

• Intensive care medicine for patients after major surgeries or critical conditions

• Postoperative pain management, tailored to individual patient needs

By working closely with surgical, internal medicine, and nursing teams, we ensure that every patient receives personalized counseling and the best possible care.

Patient Safety and Comfort

Patient safety is our top priority. State-of-the-art monitoring systems and anesthesia equipment guarantee maximum precision during every procedure. Alongside safety, we focus on patient comfort by minimizing anxiety and managing pain effectively.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

The Department of Anesthesia is closely integrated with other medical specialties at Ordensklinikum Linz, including cardiology, oncology, pediatrics, and orthopedics. This interdisciplinary collaboration allows us to deliver highly specialized treatment, even for complex medical cases.

Research and Education

As part of the Karl Landsteiner Institute, our department actively contributes to research and education. Innovative methods such as 3D-assisted surgery and advanced anesthesia techniques are constantly being developed and improved. In addition, Ordensklinikum Linz plays a key role in training future anesthesiologists and intensive care specialists, as well as nursing professionals.

Your Stay With Us

Before every surgical procedure, we conduct a detailed pre-anesthesia consultation. During this conversation, we discuss medical history, allergies, existing conditions, and determine the safest and most suitable anesthesia plan. During surgery, our team monitors all vital functions to ensure safety at every step. After the procedure, patients benefit from continuous care – ranging from pain therapy to monitoring in the intensive care unit when required.

At Ordensklinikum Linz Elisabethinen, we combine cutting-edge medical expertise with human-centered care. Our Anesthesia Department is dedicated to guiding you safely and compassionately through every stage of your treatment.
