[@Jesalllll]

Really interesting video, thanks doc

[@RKMD]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@joygolden4852]

Which books do you recommend to refresh practical side of the day to day cardiac Anaesthetic practice

[@marykaywohlert9228]

So this might be a morbid question but when you harvest organs from a donor do they keep them alive until they get what organs the need to harvest wanted?

[@jeffda123]

nice vid dr. rishi. hoping to learn some more about cardiac anesthesiology. i hope you make videos about the drugs you use in your cases.

[@Aviation_Professional]

Curious what's most critical in avoiding arrhythmia. I heard of one of our patients coming out of foot surgery with A Flutter but had a normal EKG preop

[@avasihuiliu2267]

Optimise the electrolytes and maintain euvolaemia if possible, adequate depth of anaesthesia and analgesia, avoid arrythmogenic drugs... basic stuff I guess.. of course clinical senarios will call for specific managements.

[@imab125]

So during your fellowship training, you woke up at 4am and left the hospital at around 5/6pm only to then work out and get dinner afterwards? How many hours of sleep did you get a night, typically?

[@rb8947]

Great video! THNX! I want to be Cardiothoracic surgeon in future but I am wondering about all those new technologies like TAVR, Stents, MitralClip, will there be in future anything else left for Cardiac Surgeon expect LVADs and Heart Transplants...

[@RKMD]

People have been saying cardiac surgery is a "dying field" for decades. While minimally invasive options are becoming more abundant, there will always be a need (albeit changing role) for surgeons.

I am an aspiring anestheologist assistant. Is there a specialization path for AA or CRNA?

[@riashah2045]

Hey am a third year resident anaesthesist form PUNE, India and I'd love to pursue cardiothoracic anaesthesia after my residency..what all should I expect?

[@asdfjklasdfjkl408]

A few questions. 1. What site do you use for arterial lines? 2. Do you feel as if cardiothoracic anesthesia is more hands on than other anesthesia fellowships/practice? Thanks for the awesome video!

[@RKMD]

1.) Radial and femoral sites. Occasionally brachial. 2.) I'm obviously biased, but one of the reasons why I chose to pursue cardiothoracic anesthesia and critical care fellowships is due to the critically ill nature of patients and how involved we are in the process.

[@asdfjklasdfjkl408]

@@RKMD Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply!

[@ankurdh]

Hi ! Great video . Did you do your anesthesiology residency from US or from some other country before entering this fellowship in Boston?

I used to be a cardiac anaesthetist years ago just one step before becoming a consultant I had to give up anaesthesia totally . I did my last cardiac case some where around 2011 then continued to do general neuro obs and icu in many parts of the world UK ,NZ Srilanka Then I completely gave up anaesthesia somewhere around 2017 and worked as a GP Now I want to restart cardiac anaesthesia .Are you in a position to guide me where to start and how to rebuild my cardiac anaesthetic career
