Areas of Expertise

Dr Sowmya specialises in critical care and emergency medicine with expertise across advanced airway management, vascular access procedures, cardiac emergencies, orthopaedic first aid, wound care, and disaster management.

Advanced Airway Management

She performs simple and advanced airway management including rapid sequence induction and intubation for critically ill and emergency patients. Securing a clear airway quickly and safely is a life-saving priority in emergency and intensive care settings.

Central Venous and Vascular Access

She performs central venous access, femoral venous access, and femoral arterial access for critically ill patients requiring intravenous medications, monitoring, or haemodynamic support. These procedures provide reliable access for delivering life-saving treatments in the ICU and emergency department.

Cardiac Arrest and Emergency Cardiac Procedures
