Overview of Cardiac Anaesthesia Services

At UMC Utrecht Cardiac Anaesthesia Utrecht, we manage anesthesia for many heart procedures.

Our team uses the latest technology to track vital signs and maintain stable heart function throughout surgery. Therefore, patients benefit from smoother operations and better recovery.

Experienced Cardiac Anaesthesiologists

Our cardiac anaesthesiologists have specialized training in heart care. They work closely with surgeons, cardiologists, and nurses to coordinate care. Before surgery, they perform a thorough preoperative check-up and develop a personalized anesthesia plan. As a result, patients experience fewer complications and faster recovery. Additionally, the team explains each step clearly, helping patients feel informed and confident.

Preoperative Preparation

We guide patients through pre-surgery preparation. For example, we review medical history, current medications, and lifestyle habits. We also discuss anesthesia options and potential risks. Patients receive practical instructions on fasting, medication, and what to expect after surgery. This preparation reduces anxiety and ensures the patient is ready for the procedure.

Advanced Monitoring During Surgery

During surgery, our team monitors heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and other vital signs continuously. We adjust anesthesia as needed to keep the patient stable. Furthermore, the use of advanced monitoring technology allows the team to respond quickly to changes. Consequently, patients have safer surgeries and optimal outcomes.

Postoperative Care and Recovery

After surgery, patients move to the recovery room where our team continues monitoring and managing pain. We provide clear instructions for medications, activity, and follow-up appointments. By addressing patient needs promptly, we help them recover faster and with minimal discomfort. We also check in regularly to ensure their progress meets recovery goals.
