Home  /  Cardiac Anaesthesiology

The Department of Cardiac Anaesthesiology at KIMS-Sunshine Hospital, Begumpet (Secunderabad), Hyderabad, is a highly specialised unit dedicated to providing advanced anaesthetic care for complex cardiac, thoracic, vascular and endovascular procedures in both adults and children. Cardiac Anaesthesiology is a super-speciality branch of anaesthesia that plays a critical role in cardiothoracic surgeries, cardiac catheterisation laboratory procedures and comprehensive post-operative cardiac critical care. Our team ensures patient safety, haemodynamic stability, pain control and optimal recovery throughout the perioperative period. With expertise in advanced monitoring, mechanical circulatory support, paediatric cardiac anaesthesia and critical care, the department supports some of the most high-risk and technologically advanced cardiac interventions.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the different types of anaesthesia?

    • General anaesthesia
    • Regional anaesthesia
    • Monitored anaesthesia care

     

     

    Is anaesthesia safe?

    With the current advances in monitoring and anaesthetic techniques, anaesthesia is generally safe. However, it carries a few risks like:

    • Allergic reactions
    • Adverse drug reactions
    • Post-operative headache, nausea, and vomiting
    • Sore throat

    Our team is available 24/7 to cater to the patient’s needs.

    How long does it take to recover from anaesthesia?

    For brief procedures, recovery is immediate. For prolonged procedures, it takes longer to recover.

    How is post-operative pain managed?

    Post-operative pain is managed safely and effectively by multimodal analgesia incorporating various modalities like oral, intravenous, transdermal and regional anaesthetic and analgesic techniques.
