Anesthesia Technologist

Healthcare

Anesthesia technologists (AT / anaesthesia techs) are the paramedical professionals who set up, maintain, and troubleshoot all equipment the anaesthesiologist depends on — workstations, ventilators, airway carts, infusion pumps, monitoring systems, and anaesthetic gas supply. Unlike the OT technician who focuses on surgical instruments and sterile field, the anesthesia technologist is specifically paired to the anaesthesia team: they perform daily machine checks, assemble breathing circuits, prepare drug drawers, manage the difficult-airway trolley, and respond to intra-op equipment failures. In India the path is B.Sc Anaesthesia Technology (3 years, PCB background) or Diploma in Anaesthesia Technology (2 years) from state paramedical boards or AIIMS-affiliated institutes; graduates work in OT complexes, surgical ICUs, cath labs, pain clinics, and day-care surgery centres across government hospitals, corporate chains (Apollo, Fortis, Narayana, Manipal), and specialty cardiac and neuro centres.
