As a dedicated Neuroanaesthesiologist, I am passionate about delivering safe and precise perioperative care for patients undergoing complex brain, spine, and neurovascular procedures. With a strong academic foundation and focused clinical expertise, I strive to optimise neurological outcomes and advance best practices in neuroanaesthesia.
Area of Interest: perioperative management for brain, spine, and neurovascular surgeries; management of patients with traumatic brain injury and stroke; intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring; anaesthesia for neuroimaging and interventional neuroradiology procedures; and research on optimising perioperative neuroanaesthesia, including anaesthetic effects on neuromuscular monitoring, intracranial pressure, postoperative pain control, and haemodynamic stability in neurosurgical patients.
