Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia

Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia Care Centre at Evercare Hospital Dhaka

Department of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia of Evercare Hospital Dhaka comprises a team of dynamic fully trained specialists who constantly work towards providing the highest standard of anaesthesia support to patients undergoing a wide variety of cardiothoracic & vascular procedures in our state-of-the-art operation theatres (OT). Evercare Hospital Dhaka is one of the largest cardiothoracic & vascular surgical centres in Bangladesh, and cardiac anaesthesiologists form a vital part of the multidisciplinary team involved in the management of these complex and challenging surgeries. In addition to supervising anaesthesia care for such patients, cardiac anaesthesiologists are also involved in the management of patients with cardiac conditions when they go in for other surgical procedures. Anaesthesiologists have a wide variety of tools at their disposal and develop an anaesthesia plan tailored to each patient after consulting with the patient and the surgeon.

Our Services

Our mission is to provide superlative comprehensive anaesthesia care throughout the peri-operative period, ensuring maximum patient safety and comfort. Towards this goal, the latest cutting-edge anaesthesia techniques are employed, such as Trans-Esophageal Echocardiography (TEE) as a monitoring standard. Our cardiac anaesthesiologists supervise heart-lung machine and control the patient’s physiology, as well as all medical problems including chronic and acute conditions, through the use of invasive monitors and pharmacology. We also provide anaesthesia care in non-cardiac surgeries for patients having complex cardiac diseases like valvular heart disease, adult congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure, etc. Our vigilant care does not start or stop with the often-challenging anaesthesia management during the actual surgical procedure. The Department of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia also works with other experts to optimize the patient pre-operatively, as well as closely monitors the patient in post-operative setting. Our cardiothoracic anaesthesiologists also oversee the hospital’s Cardiothoracic ICU (Critical Care Units). All patients go through Pre-Anaesthesia Check-up (PAC) before administration of any anaesthesia.

Conditions Treated

Pre-anesthesia check-up is a pre-condition for safe anaesthesia. Prior to administration of any type of anaesthesia, the patient has to be checked up by an anesthesiologist. In pre-anesthesia check-up the following are done:
  • Patient history and physical examination
  • Investigations in laboratory, imaging and others, as necessary
  • Set questionnaire to be answered by patient
  • Explaining to patient and then obtaining informed consent

  • Local anaesthesia is usually given by injecting a specific part of your body with a medicine that numbs the nerves. It can sometimes be given as nose drops or spray.
  • You may be given a sedative with a local or regional anaesthetic to relax you and reduce anxiety. The sedative may cause you to fall asleep. Spinal anaesthetic is injected through a small needle into the fluid-filled space surrounding your spinal cord. Epidural anaesthetic is injected just outside the sac that contains your spinal fluid.
  • If you are having general anaesthesia, drugs may be given through a mask covering your nose and mouth. Sometimes, insertion of a breathing tube through your throat may become necessary for several surgical procedures after anaesthesia is induced. To do this, a special kind of drug called “muscle relaxant” is used in addition to anaesthetic agents. The tube helps you to get adequate oxygen and other gaseous anaesthetic agents down to your lungs for maintaining safe anaesthesia. The tube will be removed before you wake up after the surgery.

During the whole procedure, your heart rate, blood pressure, oxygenation and state of breathing are continuously monitored so that any abnormal deviation can be remedied immediately. However, during recovery from anaesthesia, a very temporary disorientation and dry mouth may be present until the effect of the drugs wears off.
