About Cardiac Anaesthesia Department:
Division of Cardiac Anesthesiology
Cardiac anesthesiologists in the Department of Anesthesiology at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital are physicians who are specialists in the care of the patient with cardiac disease undergoing cardiac surgery and other procedures on the heart. Cardiac anesthesiologists are fellowship-trained in Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology and have additional expertise in ("Transesophageal Echocardiography", TEE).
Our cardiac anesthesiologists have extensive experience in taking care of patients with cardiac disease for Adult and Pediatric cardiac surgical procedures with standard or non-invasive (percutaneous) techniques. Additionally, we provide anesthesia care for non-operating room interventions, such as percutaneous closure of congenital defects (atrial or ventricular septal defects) and electrophysiology (heart rhythm) procedures. The anesthesiologists are responsible for your pre-surgery "tune-up", so that you are best prepared for the surgical procedure and anesthesia, intra operative care during the surgery, and immediate post-operative recovery, including care in the Post operative-ICU At all times.
About Department of Cardiac perfusion:
A cardiovascular perfusionist clinical perfusionist or perfusiologist, and occasionally a cardiopulmonary bypass doctor or clinical perfusion scientist, is a healthcare professional who operates the cardiopulmonary bypass machine (heart - lung machine) during cardiac surgery and other surgeries that require cardiopulmonary bypass to manage the patient’s physiological status. As a member of the cardiovascular surgical team, the perfusionist also known as the clinical perfusionist helps maintain blood flow to the body’s tissues as well as regulate levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, using a heart - lung machine.
Performed Duties:
Perfusionists form part of the wider cardiovascular surgical team which includes cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, and residents. Their role is to conduct extracorporeal circulation as well as ensure the management of physiologic functions by monitoring the necessary variables. The perfusionist provides consultation to the physician in selecting appropriate equipment and techniques to be used. Other responsibilities include administering blood products , administering anesthetic agents or drugs , measuring selected laboratory values ( such as blood cell count ) , monitoring circulations , monitoring blood gases , surveil anticoagulation induction of hypothermia , and hemodilution Sometimes , perfusionists are granted administrative tasks such as purchasing suppliers or equipment , as well as personnel and departmental management.
