The future of cardiothoracic anesthesia depends on establishing and sustaining a unique and distinguished attribute and identity that supports and contributes positive value to patients, surgical colleagues, and health system administrators. Cardiothoracic anesthesiology is a category of the medical practice of anesthesiology dedicated to the cardiac surgery stage before an operation, during operation, and after the operation aid of the pediatric and an adult undergoing cardiac surgery and related cardiology invasive procedures. It deals with the anesthesia characteristic of care related to medical procedure cases such as open heart surgery, and other cardiac surgery operations of the human chest. These features include perioperative care with skilled manipulation of patient cardiopulmonary physiology through fine and critical care medicine, and invasive procedures, advanced application of pharmacology and resuscitative methods. This also includes administration of the cardiology bypass device, which most cardiac surgery procedures require during the operation while the heart undergoes operational rectification. Therefore cardiovascular anesthesiologists in cardiac surgery must be prepared to specify their value through demonstrating that specific quality.
