In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Thota Venkata Sanjeev Gopal, Clinical Director – Anaesthesiology, Surgical Intensive Care, and Acute Pain Management at CARE Hospitals, Banjara Hills, for a deep dive into the often-overlooked but life-critical role of anaesthesiologists.

What really happens during a pre-op evaluation?
How is anaesthesia tailored for different surgeries—from orthopaedics to neurosurgery?
What’s the difference between general, spinal, and regional anaesthesia—and how is the right one chosen?
And beyond the OT, how do anaesthesiologists manage acute pain and non-operating room anaesthesia (NORA)?

From preparing patients mentally and physically for surgery to ensuring safety during high-risk procedures, this episode uncovers the science, precision, and care behind anaesthesia—and why it’s far more than just putting you to sleep.
