What is Cardiac Anesthesia?

In a Cardiac Anesthesia department, various procedures are performed to ensure the safe and effective administration of anaesthesia for cardiac surgeries and interventions.

Here are some common procedures

Comprehensive Evaluation - Assessing the patient's medical history, physical condition, and specific cardiac issues to determine anaesthesia risks.
Cardiac Monitoringy - Evaluating cardiac function using echocardiograms, ECGs, and other tests to inform anaesthesia management.

General Anesthesia - Administering medications to induce unconsciousness and analgesia during cardiac surgeries, often involving intubation and mechanical ventilation.
Regional Anaesthesia - Using techniques like neuraxial anaesthesia (epidural or spinal) for specific procedures, although less common in cardiac surgery.
Sedation - Providing sedation for minimally invasive cardiac procedures or diagnostic tests.

Continuous Monitoring - Using advanced monitoring equipment to track vital signs, cardiac rhythms, and hemodynamic status throughout the procedure.
Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) - Utilising TEE during surgery to assess cardiac function and guide surgical decisions.

Postoperative Analgesia - Developing and implementing pain management plans post-surgery, including multimodal analgesia strategies.

Crisis Management - Preparing for and managing potential complications during surgery, including cardiac arrest, hemodynamic instability, or anaphylactic reactions.

Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) Monitoring - Overseeing patients in the PACU for recovery from anaesthesia and ensuring stability before discharge to the surgical ward.
