Cardiac Anaesthesiology

Cardiac anaesthesia is inextricably intertwined with cardiac surgery, and has mainly evolved in the last 50 years and grown into the largest influential sub-speciality of anaesthesiology over the past eleven years.

It is by no means an exaggeration to state that the remarkable progress of cardiac surgery over the last six years in our hospital has been possible only because surgeons were ably aided by innovations in cardiac anaesthesia. From PA catheters and Trans-esophageal Echocardiography to Thoracic Epidurals enabling fast-track anaesthesia for beating heart surgery, anaesthesiologists have kept pace with all the advancement in cardiac surgery by constantly re-inventing themselves, learning new techniques and mastering new technology.
