6. Organ-Based Anesthesia

Covers anesthesia considerations related to cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, endocrine, gastrointestinal, neurological, and other major organ-system diseases.

7. Trauma, Burns & Orthopedic Surgery

Includes anesthesia for major trauma, hemorrhagic shock, massive transfusion, burns, fractures, orthopedic procedures, spinal injuries, fat embolism, tourniquet use, and perioperative management of high-risk trauma patients.

8. Regional Anesthesia, Acute & Chronic Pain

Covers regional anesthesia principles, pain pathways, multimodal analgesia, postoperative pain management, chronic pain conditions, pharmacologic pain therapy, patient-controlled analgesia, and complications associated with regional techniques.

9. Perioperative Medicine

Includes preoperative assessment, optimization of comorbidities, risk stratification, perioperative medication management, intraoperative monitoring, fluid and electrolyte management, postoperative care, and prevention of perioperative complications.

10. Peripheral Nerve Blocks, Epidural & Spinal Anesthesia

Covers neuraxial anesthesia, spinal and epidural techniques, peripheral nerve blocks, indications, contraindications, local anesthetic pharmacology, ultrasound-guided procedures, block selection, and management of complications.

11. Critical Care Medicine

Includes respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, shock, sepsis, hemodynamic support, fluid therapy, vasopressors, acid-base disorders, electrolyte abnormalities, organ failure, ICU monitoring, and resuscitation.

12. Patient Safety

Focuses on safe anesthesia practice, monitoring standards, medication safety, equipment checks, prevention of adverse events, surgical safety, infection prevention, crisis management, human factors, and recognition of perioperative emergencies.

13. Professionalism & Ethics

Covers informed consent, confidentiality, communication, ethical decision-making, professional responsibilities, documentation, patient autonomy, end-of-life issues, teamwork, and appropriate professional conduct.
