Clinical Anaesthesia

Sections

INSTRUMENTS & EQUIPMENTS

Step into the world of anesthetic instruments and equipment—a domain where precision meets patient well-being. From classic vaporizers to advanced monitoring devices, this section delves into the evolution of tools that empower anesthesiologists to orchestrate safe and effective journeys through the realm of unconsciousness.

PHARMACOLOGY

Anesthetic drugs can be administered in various forms, including inhalation, injection, and topical application. They are utilized in a broad spectrum of medical procedures, ranging from minor incisions to complex surgeries. Understanding the mechanisms and proper use of anesthetic drugs is essential for healthcare providers to ensure optimal patient care.

HISTORY

The history of anesthesia is a captivating journey through the evolution of pain relief techniques, from ancient herbal concoctions to modern-day sophisticated methods. This section unveils the remarkable progress in medical science, transforming the experience of surgery and alleviating human suffering since its inception.

PROCEDURES

Within the realm of anesthetic procedures, a diverse tapestry of techniques has emerged, each weaving a distinct narrative of innovation and patient care. From ether's pioneering days to today's intricately monitored administrations, this section delves into the art and science of inducing controlled unconsciousness, revolutionizing medical interventions.

PRESENTATIONS

Welcome to the section dedicated to anesthesiology presentations, where the intricate symphony of science and practice harmonizes. Here, we explore a spectrum of topics, from fundamental principles to cutting-edge research, unveiling the captivating role of anesthesiology in modern healthcare.

CLINICAL SCENARIOS

This section explores diverse clinical scenarios—from trauma resuscitation to pediatric airway management—highlighting tailored anesthetic strategies for each. It emphasizes preoperative assessment, intraoperative vigilance, and postoperative care, integrating pharmacologic choices, monitoring techniques, and team coordination to optimize patient safety and outcomes across a spectrum of surgical and emergency contexts.

Anesthesia Clinical Calculators

Clinical decision-making demands precision, speed, and clarity—especially in high-stakes environments like the operating room or ICU. The Clinical Calculators here are designed to streamline complex medical computations, offering evidence-based results in a format that’s both intuitive and educational. Whether you're estimating anesthetic dosing, fluid requirements, or scoring severity indices, each module is built to reinforce clinical reasoning while minimizing cognitive load.

Crafted especially for Anesthesia Residents, with a focus on usability and visual clarity, this tool empowers learners and practitioners alike to make informed decisions at the point of care. With integrated references, quick tips, and responsive design, it serves not just as a calculator—but as a teaching companion that bridges theory and practice.

Atropine

Atropine is a naturally occurring tropane alkaloid derived from the deadly nightshade plant (Atropa belladonna). As the prototypical anticholinergic agent, it is a fundamental drug in anesthesia practice.

Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) machine

Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) monitoring provides automated, intermittent measurements of a patient’s systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure without the need to insert a catheter into an artery. It’s the automated equivalent of a clinician manually using a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope.

Laboratory Tests in Anesthesia

Anesthesiologists rely on a wide range of laboratory tests to assess patient fitness for anesthesia, guide intraoperative management, and manage postoperative care. The modern approach emphasizes targeted, indication-based testing rather than routine screening for all patients.

Adrenaline (Epinephrine)

Epinephrine, commonly known by its trade name Adrenaline, is an endogenous catecholamine and one of the most potent, rapid-acting, and essential drugs in the anesthesiologist’s arsenal.

Conversion Tables

Anesthesia practice requires constant and precise conversion of units to ensure patient safety. Here is a comprehensive list of conversion tables and formulas routinely used by anesthesia providers.

Pulse Oximeter (SpO2)

The pulse oximeter is arguably one of the most significant advancements in patient monitoring, so ubiquitous and reliable that it’s often called the “fifth vital sign.”

The Ambu Bag

In every code blue, in every ambulance, and in every operating room around the world, there is one device that stands as the universal symbol of respiratory rescue: the “Ambu Bag.” It’s a simple, handheld tool that represents the difference between life and death, a direct mechanical extension of a clinician’s will to breathe for another.

Cricothyrotomy Kit

In the “Can’t Intubate, Can’t Oxygenate” (CICO) scenario, the most feared emergency in anesthesia and critical care, in this dire moment it is the cricothyrotomy kit that transforms from a sterile package into a patient’s only hope.
