An anesthetic is necessary for all operations on the heart. The anesthetist ensures that the patient is unconscious during the operation and feels no pain; the body’s vital functions are continuously monitored. To contribute to the best possible surgical results and at the same time ensure the patient’s safety – that is our remit and our motivation, day by day.
