Cardiothoracic Anesthesia is a sub department of anesthesia which specifically deals with the heart or chest/lung related pain diseases. This department deals with the postoperative, intraoperative, and preoperative care of adult patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. It is a subspecialty of medical practice under the department of anesthesia.

Cardiothoracic Anesthesia plays a key role in coronary artery bypass surgery, heart valve surgery, heart transplants, lung transplants, heart/lung transplants, congenital heart surgery, etc. As these surgeries are complex in nature, extra training is required for cardiothoracic anesthesiology consultants to acquire the skills needed.
