Amsterdam UMC Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia Amsterdam

Amsterdam UMC Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia Amsterdam

At Amsterdam UMC AMC we offer cardiothoracic anaesthesia with advanced monitoring and ICU support. We use modern techniques during heart and lung surgery to keep you safe. Our team of anaesthesiologists and intensivists works together from before your operation until after, to ensure the best results.

What is Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia

Cardiothoracic anaesthesia is care we provide when you need surgery on your heart, large vessels, lungs, or chest wall. We use both invasive and non‑invasive monitoring tools. For example, transesophageal echocardiography helps us see the heart during surgery. We also measure cardiac output with pulse contour analysis. We adjust your anaesthesia based on real‑time data so your organs stay healthy.

Our ICU Support and Postoperative Care

After surgery, we co‑manage your care in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. Surgeons, intensivists, and anaesthesia specialists work closely together. We monitor vital functions, pain, breathing, and fluid balance. We address complications fast and adapt your treatment to your condition.

What We Offer at Amsterdam UMC

• Preoperative assessment to plan anaesthesia and care.

• Advanced intraoperative monitoring.

• Skilled ICU support after surgery.

• Multidisciplinary team meetings for complex cases.

• Education and training for specialists in anaesthesia and intensive care.
