About Author
Hello, I’m Dr. Apoorva Naik, an Anaesthesiologist and faculty member with a special interest in regional anaesthesia and ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. My clinical practice includes anaesthesia for a wide range of surgical specialties, with particular interest in ultrasound-guided regional techniques, peripheral nerve blocks, neuraxial anaesthesia, and perioperative pain management. I’m particularly interested in making regional anaesthesia safe, reproducible and easy to apply in everyday clinical practice, while encouraging a structured approach to ultrasound-guided procedures. I look forward to learning, teaching and sharing experiences with the ICUnotes community.
