Anesthesia for Heart Transplantation

Anesthesia for heart transplantation involves the use of medications to induce a state of controlled unconsciousness and pain relief during the surgery. This ensures the patient does not feel anything and remains stable while surgeons replace the damaged heart with a healthy donor heart. Anesthesia providers carefully monitor vital signs, including heart rate and blood pressure, throughout the procedure to ensure safety. After surgery, patients are transitioned to recovery, where they are gradually awakened from anesthesia and monitored for any complications. The goal is to provide a safe, pain-free experience during this critical procedure.
