Approach to Anaesthesia
Why “Approach to Anaesthesia”?
This course is built on more than 30 years of clinical anaesthesia experience combined with years of teaching postgraduates, residents, and OT teams. Every topic is reorganized into simple, logical frameworks that make clinical thinking practical and easy to recall — even under pressure.
You will learn not only what to do in a given case, but why, when, and how — step by step.

Details
Anaesthesia is not just about drugs and machines, it’s about judgment, anticipation, and calm precision when seconds matter. This course brings together decades of operating-room experience into a clear, structured, and case-driven approach to everyday and high-risk anaesthesia.
Each module takes you through real clinical scenarios, from pre-operative evaluation to postoperative pain and counselling, showing you how to think, how to plan, and how to communicate effectively with clinical team and patient attendants.
This course provides a structured, experience-based approach to clinical anaesthesia, covering every phase, pre-operative assessment, intra-operative management, and postoperative pain and recovery. It focuses on how to think, how to prepare, and how to communicate in real clinical scenarios rather than only what to memorize.
Through carefully designed modules, the course integrates core knowledge, decision frameworks, and case-based discussions that replicate actual operating room situations. Each module reinforces not just the science of anaesthesia, but the judgment, prioritization, and team alignment that define expert anaesthetic practice.
This program aims to help learners develop a clear, repeatable method of approach to any anaesthetic case, from routine to high-risk, while building mastery in communication, anticipation, and crisis management.
