The Department of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia provides anesthesia and critical care for the largest cardiothoracic surgical practice in North America. The Miller Family Heart & Vascular Institute at Cleveland Clinic's rating as Americas #1 Heart Center for 13 consecutive years by U.S.News & World Report stems from great contributions from each of the cardiac diagnostic, therapeutic, surgery and patient care group with their various administrative services.
The Department of Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology provides a full spectrum of peri-operative anesthesia services for cardiac and thoracic surgical patients including full-time Intensivist presence in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU), respiratory consultation and post-operative pain management.
