OUR DEPARTMENT
Welcome to Cardiovascular Anesthesiology, part of the Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center's highly distinguished cardiovascular center. ADD CCORP LINK FROM HOLLY
Cardiac anesthesiologists induce and maintain anesthesia and provide pharmacological support for patients undergoing cardiac surgeries including coronary artery bypass, valve repair or replacement, aortic dissection/aneurysm repair, congenital cardiac anamoly repair and atrial myxoma excision. We also provide perioperative consultations for patients with hemodynamic or ventilatory problems and transesophageal echocardiography. Members of our department are also involved in the management of postoperative patients in the cardiovascular intensive care unit.
Our skilled and caring team includes nine board certified cardiac anesthesiologists and specialty trained cardiac anesthesia technicians. Most of the cardiac anesthesiologists are also board certified in perioperative echocardiography. We work collaboratively with cardiac surgeons and other specialists throughout the medical center to provide the highest quality care.
Our staff is involved in the training of UCSF residents in the practice of cardiovascular anesthesiology. We also have ongoing clinical research interests.
HOW TO GET CARE
