FAQ — Anaesthetics, Sedation & Perioperative Medicine
Is Dr Maan Hasan available at LSDC Healthcare in London?
Yes. Dr Maan Hasan sees patients at LSDC Healthcare in Central London for consultant-led anaesthetics and perioperative medicine.
What does Dr Maan Hasan specialise in?
Dr Hasan is a Consultant Anaesthetist with expertise in safe anaesthesia planning, perioperative optimisation, and sedation pathways for procedures where clinically appropriate.
Can Dr Hasan support sedation for endoscopy (gastroscopy or colonoscopy)?
Yes. Where sedation or anaesthetic support is appropriate for an endoscopy, Dr Hasan can provide consultant-led anaesthesia planning and safety-focused care before, during and after the procedure.
I’m anxious about a procedure — can sedation help?
Often, yes. Sedation can be helpful for selected patients, depending on the procedure and your medical history. Dr Hasan will discuss suitable options and the safest approach for you.
What happens at a pre-anaesthetic assessment?
A pre-anaesthetic assessment reviews your medical history, medications, allergies, previous anaesthetic experiences, and any key risks such as sleep apnoea or reflux. You’ll receive clear fasting instructions and a tailored plan.
Do I need to stop any medications before sedation or anaesthesia?
Some medicines may need adjustment, particularly blood thinners and diabetes medications. Dr Hasan will advise you clearly based on your procedure and health profile. Do not stop prescribed medication without clinician guidance.
Why are fasting instructions important?
Fasting reduces the risk of stomach contents entering the lungs during sedation or anaesthesia. You’ll be given specific instructions on when to stop food and fluids before your procedure.
How is pain controlled after surgery or procedures?
Pain relief is individualised. Options may include paracetamol, anti-inflammatories, opioids where necessary, and local anaesthetic techniques. Dr Hasan aims to control pain effectively while minimising side effects.
Do you provide perioperative optimisation for higher-risk patients?
Yes. If you have medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, asthma or sleep apnoea, Dr Hasan can help optimise safety by planning anaesthesia carefully and advising on pre-procedure preparation.
When can I go home after sedation?
This depends on the type of sedation and your recovery. Most patients can go home the same day, but you’ll need an escort and should not drive, sign legal documents, or operate machinery for a period advised by your team.
When should I seek urgent medical help after sedation or anaesthesia?
Seek urgent help for severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, persistent vomiting, fainting, high fever, severe allergic symptoms (such as facial swelling or widespread rash), or any rapidly worsening symptoms after discharge.
