The major facilities available for patients includes:
Non-invasive Cardiac laboratory
For early diagnosis of heart problems, every cardiovascular case is assessed in detail through various highly precise tests such as 2D/3D Echo, Strain rate imaging, Holter monitoring via a portable device that can measure electrical activity for 24 hrs or long, Ambulatory BP monitoring (wherein the sphygmomanometer is used to measure the blood pressure readings for 24-hr period irrespective of whether the person is asleep or awake), Head-Up Tilt Table (HUTT) test (records heartbeats and pressure per minute while the person head is tilted onto the table at different levels), Treadmill testing (to measure the electrical activity of the heart while exercising), Ankle Brachial Index test (to check for Peripheral artery disease), Coronary Computed Tomography (CT) Angiography (computers are used to visualise the heart anatomy in high resolution), Echocardiography (transesophageal, fetal echocardiography, transthoracic, dobutamine stress electrocardiography, and three-dimensional), Non-invasive Cardiology and others.
Best World-Class Equipment
The diagnostic equipment includes 3 Tesla MRI, 128 slice CT Angiography, two treadmill machines, 2 latest 2-D Color Doppler Echocardiography machines, Holter monitoring systems, Ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring equipment, and state of the art Pulmonary Function test lab. This advanced equipment ensures that the doctor gets a true picture of the problem followed by a comprehensive treatment plan.
The diagnostic tests offered at RBH include Stress ECG, Transthoracic 2-D Echocardiography, 2-D Transesophageal Echocardiography, Exercise, and Pharmacological Stress Echocardiography, Carotid Doppler, Peripheral Doppler (arterial and venous), Renal Doppler, PFT, Holter, and Ambulatory BP monitoring.
Cardiac Surgery
The Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at RBH is a highly specialised unit backed by best in class modalities from across the globe. Equipped with advanced modular CTVS OT, that facilitates all types of basic to complex adult and paediatric surgical procedures, the department adheres to very stringent benchmarks of quality and strict safety protocol. The hospital maintains a zero infection policy in all operation theatres and critical areas. We have a dedicated team of cardiac surgeons having immense experience in handling high-risk cardiac surgeries. The department has a dedicated Intensive Care Unit where highly trained nursing staff is available to cater to all your medical needs and offer round-the-clock, robust care. At RBH, we strive to bring the best interventions to your care. Every surgical procedure is carefully planned and executed by our team of experts, ensuring maximum benefit for the patient. The team specialises in both conventional surgical procedures as well as the latest, minimally invasive interventions that include laparoscopic procedures and Cardiac catheterization techniques.
Cardiac Anesthesia
The Cardiac Anesthesia team ensures the highest degree of comfort and successful outcomes in every Cardiac surgical procedure
In Cardiac OT
- Anesthesia for adult heart surgeries like “Off-Pump” CABG, valve repairs, valve replacements.
- Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (support for the heart) treatment in high-risk heart surgeries.
- Anesthesia for newborn babies & children undergoing complex congenital surgeries.
- Transesophageal echocardiography after complex congenital surgeries in children.
- Ultrafiltration techniques for complex congenital surgeries in children.
- Anaesthesia for major thoracic surgeries including lobectomy, pneumonectomy, with lung protective strategies.
- Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (support for heart and lung) treatment.
- Anesthesia for major vascular surgeries like repair of aortic aneurysm, Bentall procedure, Carotid endarterectomy.
- Hemofiltration (artificial kidney) for high-risk major surgeries.
Invasive Cardiac Laboratory
It is the place wherein all invasive interventional procedures are carried out round-the-clock. These include CATH studies, Mitral Baloon dilation, Temporary and permanent pacemaker implantation, coil embolization, Electrophysiological studies, and many more.
