Anaesthesia Technologists are highly trained professionals with in-depth knowledge of both anaesthetic and non-anaesthetic pharmacology, including drug preparation, dilution, and accurate labelling. They are skilled in preparing and organizing anaesthesia trolleys, ensuring the proper functioning of anaesthesia machines, suction systems, gas delivery units, and operating theatre tables. Their expertise extends to handling various medical gases used in operating theatres and the safe use of inhalational anaesthetic agents.

These professionals play a vital role in assisting anaesthesiologists during the administration and continuous monitoring of anaesthesia. They possess comprehensive knowledge of anaesthesia techniques, instruments, equipment, supplies, and modern anaesthesia technologies, contributing to safe and efficient surgical procedures.

Anaesthesia Technicians are primarily employed in anaesthesia departments and operation theatre complexes. However, their skills are also essential in other clinical areas such as emergency departments, intensive care units (ICUs), recovery rooms, and day-care surgery centers.
