Fellowship Trained Female Anaesthesiologist with Six Peer-Reviewed Publications and Prize Paper Conference Presentations

Anaesthesiology is a specialty where sustained academic engagement alongside clinical practice indicates a depth of evidence-based approach that goes beyond routine surgical anaesthesia delivery. Dr Deepti's profile combines dual MD and DNB Anaesthesia credentials from JSS Medical College and the National Board of Examinations, a dedicated Fellowship in Paediatric Anaesthesia from RGUHS, and an unusually substantial academic output for her career stage.

Her six peer-reviewed publications across five named journals spanning 2019 to 2025 cover paediatric endoscopy anaesthesia, geriatric pain, renal transplant anaesthesia, rare syndrome management, vascular access outcomes, and retained guidewire management. Her eight conference presentations including two under prize paper category (ISSPCON Indore 2016 and ISA South Zone Trichy 2017) and a podium paper at ISACON Ludhiana 2016 reflect sustained engagement with the national anaesthesiology research community. Female anaesthesiologists with this combination of paediatric fellowship, transplant and vascular access anaesthesia capability, and active research engagement remain genuinely uncommon. Combined with multilingual practice in English, Kannada, and Hindi, this depth of sub-specialty anaesthesiology is now offered through Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road.
