More about our Department

  • Postoperative pain relief with Patient – controlled Analgesia method is in regular use.
  • 2 Ultrasound machines are in regular use for nerve blocks and invasive procedures,diagnostic purp.
  • Anaesthesiologists also regularly perform tracheostomies, central line insertions and CT and MRI procedures under sedation.

MBBS students are exposed to the subject of anaesthesiology as per CBME curriculum. Weekly lectures covering various relevant aspects anaesthesiology including the history and scope of anaesthesia are conducted. They also get exposed to various anaesthetic procedures in the operation theatre during their OT postings. Postgraduates are being trained in pre-anaesthetic evaluation, all sub-specialities of anaesthesiology, intensive care, pain and palliative care. They have a structured program of practical training on rotational basis in all sub-specialities of anaesthesia to make them confident of handling variety of patients. They are also presenting seminars, journal clubs and clinical cases as per the SDMU guidelines. They are evaluated periodically for their proficiency in theory as well as practical work. Postgraduates are also trained to conduct a scientific clinical research by the way of dissertations. They are allowed to conduct elective as well as emergency cases under the direct supervision of concerned faculty. Students of various Allied Health Sciences courses like B.Sc. in Anaesthesia Technology ( B.Sc. AT), B.Sc. in Operation Technology(B.Sc. OT) are trained here with a thorough exposure to the practical aspects. They are taught about the principles of asepsis, sterilization of instruments, arranging OT equipment and assisting in anaesthesia and surgical procedures.
