For patients seeking Dr. Chanchal Daulal Bhandari cardiac anaesthesia care, the process begins well before the operation. Heart surgery places great demands on the body, so the anaesthesia team plans carefully around each patient's heart condition, other illnesses and medicines. During surgery, the cardiac anaesthetist keeps the patient asleep, pain-free and stable, watching heart rhythm, blood pressure and oxygen levels throughout and adjusting treatment as needed. After the operation, the same team helps hand the patient safely over to intensive care.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) reroutes blood around blocked heart arteries, while valve surgery repairs or replaces damaged valves. Redo surgery is a repeat heart operation, which can be more complex because of scarring from the earlier procedure. These operations carry higher risk in adults with weaker hearts or other illnesses. The cardiac anaesthetist plans how to support the heart and circulation, manages medicines and fluids, and responds quickly to changes during the operation.
TEE uses a small ultrasound probe passed into the oesophagus, which lies just behind the heart, while the patient is under anaesthesia. It gives real-time images of the heart's pumping action and valves. During surgery, it helps the team check how well the heart is working, assess a repaired valve and adjust treatment accordingly. Using these images to guide care is known as TEE-guided optimisation, and it supports decisions about fluids, medicines and circulation.
After major heart surgery, most patients need close monitoring in a cardiac intensive care unit. High-acuity care means constant attention to breathing, circulation, kidney function, and pain control, with early recognition of problems such as bleeding, rhythm disturbances, or low blood pressure. Early recovery aims to wean the patient safely off breathing support and begin gentle movement. When a crisis arises, quick and coordinated action by the whole team matters most.
Dr. Chanchal Daulal Bhandari cardiac anaesthesiologist focuses on patients undergoing heart surgery. The role covers assessment before surgery, anaesthesia and monitoring during it, and support in intensive care afterwards. Cardiac anaesthesiologists work alongside surgeons, perfusionists, nurses and intensive care staff, and each team member's role is clear before the operation begins.
Bring earlier reports, scans, ECGs, echo reports and prescriptions, together with a list of all your medicines and supplements. Follow the instructions on fasting and on which medicines to continue or pause, and never stop heart medicines on your own. Tell the team about allergies, previous anaesthetic experiences and conditions such as diabetes or kidney problems. Stopping smoking before surgery helps recovery. It is normal to feel anxious, so ask the team to explain each step.
Ask who will give your anaesthesia and which type is planned. Ask how pain will be controlled, how long you may need intensive care, and what the recovery will involve. Ask what you and your family should do before admission. Clear answers help you feel prepared and make recovery smoother.
