World's First Awake Cardiac Bypass & Valve Surgery, India
Visit www.whosp.com – Dr Vivek Jawali, chief cardiovascular surgeon along with his team at Wockhardt Heart Hospital at Bangalore have set a global benchmark by performing the first coronary bypass surgery along with an aortic valve replacement without using general anaesthesia or ventilator support while the patient was on a heart lung machine.The technique of high thoracic epidural analgesia is a highly precision based methodology which involves injection of micro doses of local anaesthetic in the epidural space around the spinal cord which anaesthetises only the chest region while the rest of the system is fully awake.

This technique is a boon for patients having multifaceted medical complications, required a bypass surgery and an aortic valve replacement. His lung condition did not permit the use of a ventilator and he was high risk for general anaesthesia. With his surgery being rejected at various centres before he came to us, his best chance of survival was an open heart surgery without general anaesthesia, in other words, an awake heart surgery. We give him that chance using the technique of high thoracic epidural analgesia and a new direction in heart surgery has been unveiled,' recounted Dr Jawali.

Indian Doctors..Hats off
+Jatin Singh yes Jatin you’re absolutely correct! Covering for the past
half of decade in medical tourism review India posses the best cardiac
surgeons along with hospitals and facilities. I think economy wise the
world is getting aware about the fact India is becoming the centre of
attraction due to the affordable services. I have found this site for
review. http://www.indiacardiacsurgerysite.com/
I like this
Sure its pain.his chest is opened,the heart is being touch many times,how
could he don’t feel pain at all?do they inject an anti pain into his heart
or what?I don’t see any lung-heart machine anywhere on this surgery…
Great Work.
great job
Dr. Jawali & Dr. Chakravarthy, Wow!. The best I’ve heard for heart
patients. Thank you for your dedication and expertise. Positive growth for
future medicine. I can see doctors and surgeons from everywhere going to
Bangalore to upgrade their medical expertise. Keep us informed. We need
more people like you!.
Wow, Dr. Jawali, hats off to you, and Dr. Murali Chakravarthy, for this
“First in the world”, achievement. I can imagine some foreigners bad
mouthing you, and your technique, it is just a care of envy, jealousy, and
also an indirect praise for India, in general, and you in particular.
Carry on with your good work.
+venkat Raman S. I have found Indian doctors, in the USA, anyway, to be
among the MOST competent and thorough. They also deal with patients better
than other ethic background; they are generous with their time and
explanations, and they seem to know how to allay any fears or address
concerns the patient may have while keeping utmost professional demeanor.
If given a choice, I will ALWAYS pick the Indian doctor over any other.
We (Indians) are cut above the rest.
+Krishna Krish Yes, Krishna…you certainly ARE!! 😉
+Krishna Krish yes, thanks to the USA for pioneering the procedures needed
for the heart bypass and valve surgery.
you’re welcome and your apology will be accepted.
Really marvelous innovation. Indian doctors are quite competent, given the
opportunity they will excell. We always hear about some shoddy practices at
various hospitals. In general India does have a well trained doctors, some
of them invited to Toronto, Canada, hospitals for teaching and performing
various operations.
What a medical breakthrough; to perform cardiac surgery with the patient
able to respond to questions & directions posed to him by the surgical
team!! Amazing.
fantastic, whether it is a routine in bangalore hospital.
thoracic epidural anesthesia with sedation
VERY NICE DR ..GOD BLESS U ……..ATHER ALI FROM …HYDERABAD PAKISTAN
how high was that epidural T1-T2 i suspect :o…man! well done the
anaesthetist!
Awake surgery is done only for those who are likely to develop complication
with general anesthesia .
This man is far braver than I would’ve been. I have got one major concern
about the epidural anesthesia and that is suppose that the numbing meds
completely wear off, then what appropriate action would the
anesthesiologist or ologists take? I don’t like the idea of staying awake
during such a major surgery as open heart surgery.
