Department of Anaesthesia
The Department of Anaesthesiology, Critical Care, and Pain Medicine is an essential pillar of the institute and is committed to providing high-quality and comprehensive clinical care to patients while also contributing to the advancement of medical science through research. The Department is committed to providing high-skilled and safe anaesthesia services for a wide range of surgical specialties and subspecialties. The department is also well-equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and modern technology to provide advanced intensive care services to critically ill patients. In addition, the department is also running an interventional pain clinic successfully for a wide range of acute and chronic pain conditions.
Besides clinical services, the department is also actively involved in research and training programs. It conducts regular conferences, CME’s, workshops, seminars, and training sessions for medical students, residents, and practicing physicians to enhance their skills and knowledge in the field of anaesthesia, critical care, and pain medicine. Teaching through Simulation is also practiced and encouraged by this department.
Vision
To be recognized globally as a Centre of Excellence in the field of anaesthesia, critical care, and pain medicine by providing high-quality clinical services, teaching, and research.

My research interests are Critical Care Medicine [sepsis, hemodynamics, acute respiratory failure, point of care ultrasound (POCUS), post-intensive care syndrome (PICS)] airway management, peri-operative outcomes, simulation, quality improvement and artificial intelligence. I am open to multi-centric collaborative trials in these areas. I have been serving as editorial board member and reviewer of several national and international PubMed indexed journals. I have been thesis guide, thesis evaluator and examiner of MD Anaesthesiology and DM Critical Care Medicine students.
I have published more than 150 peer reviewed PubMed indexed articles (including more than 75 original articles and 25 systematic reviews and meta-analysis) and more than 10 book chapters. My h index is 30, i10 index is 69 and total citations are 5800 (till August 2024). Kindly visit my profile in the following links for further detail.
