- Leading the Department of Anaesthesiology in various healthcare setups, overseeing clinical anaesthesia services, perioperative care, critical care support, and ICU.
Providing comprehensive anesthetic care for elective and emergency surgeries across multiple specialties, ensuring patient safety, optimal intraoperative management, and smooth postoperative recovery.
• Special area of interest and expertise in pain management, with advanced proficiency in regional anaesthesia techniques, including spinal anaesthesia, epidural anaesthesia, combined spinal-epidural blocks, and ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks (upper and lower limb, truncal blocks, and fascial plane blocks) for superior intraoperative and postoperative analgesia.
• Skilled in multiple evidence-based techniques of pain management in anaesthesia, including multimodal analgesia protocols, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), continuous peripheral nerve catheter infusions, intravenous lignocaine infusions, ketamine infusions, and neuraxial opioid administration to minimise opioid-related side effects.
• Actively managing chronic pain patients through a multidisciplinary approach; evaluating and treating various chronic pain syndromes (neuropathic, musculoskeletal, cancer-related, and post-surgical pain) using pharmacological optimisation, interventional procedures (e.g., epidural steroid injections, facet joint blocks, sacroiliac joint injections), and non-pharmacological strategies.
• Playing a pivotal role in improving quality of life for chronic pain patients by reducing long-term opioid dependency, enhancing functional mobility, and integrating pain management into rehabilitation protocols, resulting in better patient outcomes and decreased hospital readmissions.
• Mentoring junior anaesthesiologists, Senior residents, and paramedical staff in advanced regional blocks and pain management protocols while maintaining departmental protocols aligned with national and international guidelines - Oversaw and delegated work activities for junior staff and nurse anesthetists.
- Collaborated with surgical teams to develop tailored anesthesia plans for each individual patient, ensuring optimal outcomes.
