Dr. Swati Aggarwal

An 8-year-old child from an affluent urban family, with a complex history of asthma and allergy to certain anesthetics, needed anesthesia for a tonsillectomy. Dr. Aggarwal designed a sevoflurane-based technique with pre-operative bronchodilators, closely engaging both parents in pre-op counseling. The child experienced smooth induction and was discharged the next day with no complications.

A 45-year-old construction worker with no fixed address and a history of opioid use presented for femur fracture surgery. Dr. Aggarwal utilized a multimodal analgesia approach including regional nerve blocks to minimize opioid needs, coordinating with a social worker for post-discharge support. Recovery was prolonged over six weeks but achieved with reduced dependency issues.

A 30-year-old pregnant woman at 28 weeks gestation, from a middle-class background, required non-obstetric surgery for acute gallbladder disease. Dr. Aggarwal administered carefully titrated general anesthesia with fetal monitoring, involving her husband in decision-making. Both mother and fetus stabilized post-surgery, with delivery occurring successfully at term.

An 18-year-old college athlete with no significant medical history needed anesthesia for ACL reconstruction. Dr. Aggarwal implemented a combined general and peripheral nerve block for optimal pain control, encouraging self-managed recovery with digital follow-ups. The patient resumed light training in three weeks.

A 72-year-old retired schoolteacher from a rural village, with no prior surgeries and controlled hypertension, required anesthesia for an emergency appendectomy. Dr. Aggarwal tailored a spinal anesthesia plan to avoid respiratory risks, involving the patient's distant nephew as the sole family contact. The patient recovered fully within four days with minimal pain medication.
