Program Summary
Anaesthesia as a course focuses on the study and practice of administering anaesthetic agents to patients to ensure pain relief and comfort during surgical and medical procedures. It encompasses the understanding of pharmacology, physiology, and anatomy related to anaesthesia, as well as the management of airways, ventilation, and critical care. Students learn about different types of anaesthesia, including general, regional, and local anaesthesia, and the techniques involved in their administration. The course also covers patient monitoring, preoperative assessment, and postoperative care to ensure patient safety and recovery. Advanced topics include pain management, emergency response, and anaesthesia for specialized procedures such as paediatrics, obstetrics, and neurosurgery. Practical training involves working in clinical settings, where students gain hands-on experience in anaesthetic techniques and patient management under supervision. The course prepares individuals for careers as anaesthesiologists, anaesthesia assistants, or nurse anaesthetists, depending on the level of training and qualification pursued.
