Anesthesiology

This department has evolved over time in providing the best of care to patients and also training post graduates. The Department of Anaesthesiology at AMCH aids patients with perioperative care, pain management for both minimally invasive and complex open surgeries. Our department works as a team with various other surgical specialties offering general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, acute and chronic pain management, we also handle critically ill patients requiring surgery. Work is equally balanced with academics. Regular classes and teaching programmes keep our post graduates updated with the latest guidelines and working protocol. The Head of the Department Dr. Vivek Mittal (Prof. & Head), with other Senior Faculty Dr. Hardeep Bariar (Prof.), Dr. Arun Kumar Gupta (Prof.) ensure smooth working of the department and also encourage the post graduates to participate in various academic activities. The department includes other skilled and experienced anesthesiologists giving their best effort. The department provides anaesthetic services at 3 major domains:-
1. OT’s (10 functional Elective and Emergency OT’s)
2. ICU Complex (HDU, SICU, RICU, NICU, Neuro ICU, Medical ICU, CCU)
3. Emergency services (Emergency OT and Casualty)
To a variety of surgeries including general surgery, Orthopaedics, obstetrics and gynecology, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology, maxillofacial surgery, pediatric, plastic and neuro surgery. State of the art technology and science is being used including multimodular-monitors, newer anesthetics, ultrasound- guided regional anesthesia and a large variety of difficult airway equipment among many others providing excellent training opportunities. In the department the Centre provides the trainees excellent opportunities to train in life support skills and management of critical incidents among others. There is always a willingness to learn from one another- junior or senior, young or old. All work is patient-centric with emphasis on safety and ethics. A combination of good quality clinical work as well as academics teaching is the whole sole moto of the department.
