Transforming Lives with Open Heart Surgery
Open heart surgery is a procedure in which the chest is opened, and surgery is performed on the muscles, valves, or arteries of the heart. It is typically used to treat serious heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, and congenital heart defects. The surgery involves using a heart-lung machine to circulate blood and oxygen during the procedure. Recovery can take several weeks, and patients must follow specific guidelines to ensure proper healing and avoid complications. Advances in surgical techniques and postoperative care have significantly improved outcomes for patients undergoing open heart surgery.

The typical steps involved in Open Heart Surgery
- Preoperative Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation including medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests (ECG, echocardiogram, angiogram).
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered to ensure the patient is unconscious and pain-free during surgery.
- Incision and Access: A large incision is made in the chest, and the breastbone is divided to access the heart.
- Heart-Lung Machine: The patient is connected to a heart-lung machine that takes over the heart's pumping action and oxygenates the blood.
- Surgical Procedure: Depending on the condition, the surgeon performs necessary repairs or replacements on the heart.
- Closure and Recovery: The heart-lung machine is removed, the heart is restarted, and the chest is closed. Recovery involves intensive monitoring and gradual return to normal activities.
