Department- Cardiovascular and Thoracic Anaesthesia
Background History
Cardiac anesthesia has evolved from its primitive stage to achieve its highly advanced current state and has been recently recognized as a super-specialty anesthesia branch in India despite its existence since last few decades. It is not only restricted to open heart surgeries but it caters to all patients with diseased cardiovascular system who needs special care with advanced monitoring in the perioperative period.
Cardiac anesthesia came to its existence when Dr P.K.Sen in 1958 established department of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery (CVTS) at this institute. Dr Meena Bhatt and Dr AJ Dhruva successfully administered anesthesia during the first heart transplant in Asia in1968. Since then Dr LathaChaudhry, Dr LalitaTuteja, Dr L Dewoolkar, Dr SarlaPandya, Dr MadhuGarasia, Dr Deepa Kane, Dr. Manjula Sarkar have rendered their services towards cardiac anesthesia.
However, during all these years of development, increasing need was felt to develop cardiac anaesthesiology as a super specialty branch with the trained, technically sound, skillful and knowledgeable cardiac anesthesiologists. So, initially one year fellowship was started in 2010 which was soon followed by DM course in 2013. It is the first recognized superspecialty anesthesia course in MUHS and Maharashtra.
