Anesthesiology Residency

I am working under attending supervision, administering anesthesia for General Surgical, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Orthopedic, ENT, Urology, Vascular, Cardiothoracic elective cases. I have completed rotations in Pediatric anesthesia (2 months), Cardio-thoracic (2 months), Neuro-anesthesia (2 months) and Pain medicine (3 months). My regular duties are preoperative anesthetic evaluation, administering GA or regional anesthesia, monitoring during surgery and post-operative recovery and management of patients. My call duties (Q4) are preoperative evaluation and management of postoperative complications in emergency cases. My duties also include acute pain management of postoperative patients and chronic pain consults on the floor. I am responsible for airway management of all cardiac arrest and critically ill patients in the hospital.

I have worked independently on several elective OR cases, elective and emergency obstetric cases in William Harvey hospital, UK. I have experience in managing critically ill patients in intensive care unit while working in the ICU at Newham Hospital, London. My work involved participating in ICU floor rounds and devise management plan for my patients, organize investigations and perform necessary procedures. I have managed a variety of critically ill patients like severe COPD, liver failure, septic shock, polytrauma, postoperative major surgery like bowel resection, AAA repair, pancreatitis. I have performed and gained expertise in several procedures like Percutaneous tracheostomy, central/arterial/vascath line and chest drain insertion. I was a member of the crash call team responsible for attending trauma crash calls in the Emergency room. I have transferred patients for neuroimaging and to specialty tertiary centers. I consolidated my knowledge about nutrition, inotropes, ventilation and hemofiltration.
