The Brain and Spine Anesthesia department at Sakra World Hospital is committed to providing dedicated patient care.
The department supports multiple specialties, including brain and spine surgery, neurology, neuroradiology, and rehabilitation, offering 24/7 emergency services throughout the year. It provides perioperative care in three dedicated brain and spine operating theatres, neuromedical and neurosurgical ICUs, acute stroke management, and intensive care for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Pain management during the perioperative period is another key focus. The team also handles anesthesia for interventional radiology, MRI procedures, awake craniotomy, major skull base surgeries, and complex spine operations that require specialized monitoring.
In addition to clinical excellence, the department actively engages in research to bridge knowledge gaps and develop protocols for optimal patient management in brain and spine care.
The Neuro-Rehabilitation team at Sakra plays a key role in providing specialist rehabilitation and management services for patients with neurological conditions. Our goal is to offer our patients with efficient and comprehensive neurological rehabilitation that will enable them to live as independently as possible.
Sakra Hospitals department of neuropathology has a dedicated team of neuropathlogists with 15 years of experience in this field and over a 100 publications in indexed journals. Our neuropathology department is equipped with world-class facilities and caters to a range of cases, from routine to rare. Neuropathology is a valuable supportive service for diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. In addition to routine brain tumors, many unusual and rare cases including focal cortical dysplasia, Ammon horn sclerosis, tumefactive demyelination, dual pathology, etc. are diagnosed in this lab. In addition to routine H&E sections; histochemistry and immunohistochemistry are done in house. Molecular analysis of the gliomas are done in relevant cases. Frozen section diagnosis is rendered routinely.
At the end of the course, the candidate should be able to:
Any medical graduate with DNB/MD Anesthesiology qualification, who has qualified the Entrance Examination conducted by NBE and fulfill the eligibility criteria for admission to DNB courses at various NBE accredited Medical Colleges/ institutions/Hospitals in India is eligible to participate in the Centralized counseling for allocation of DNB Neuro Anesthesia and Critical Care seats purely on merit cum choice basis.
The course has been designed to train candidates by the anesthesiologists in the principles and practice of Neuroanaesthesia and Neurocritical care. The training program should enable the candidates to function independently as faculty / consultant in the anaesthetic / intensive care management of the patients with neurological disorders coming for neurosurgical / radiological intervention.
