Department of Anesthesiology & IntensiveCare

Faculty details:

Departmental profile:The Department of Anesthesiology is one of the largest departments of the G.B. Pant hospital. The department was set up in 1964 with just 2 faculty members.. At present, there are 12 operation rooms with a faculty strength of 18.There are a total of 35 senior residents and 3 junior residents. In addition to the patient care inside the operation theatres, the department provides care to the critically ill patients in the General Intensive Care unit and surgical intensive care units. Anaesthesia services are also 

provided in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories, ECT room, MRI as well as CT scan suites and endoscopy suites.                                       .                                      1. Nature of services:The principal job of the department is to cater to the operation theatres and provide anaesthesia services of high quality to patients undergoing all types of surgical procedures. The department strives hard to provide a high quality care that ensures a painless experience to the patient with minimal risk during the entire perioperative period. The following types of surgical procedures are…commonly..performed in the hospital:                                   Cardiothoracic surgery:  open heart surgery ,                                                                    .    .                   

                 off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery

·   repair of congenital heart defects

·    all types of valve surgery

·     Thoracic surgery

·     Vascular surgery

                Neurosurgery

·     Craniotomies for benign and malignant intracranial masses

·     Spine surgery (including endoscopic spine surgery)

·     Awake craniotomies

·     Aneurysm surgery ((clipping and coiling)

·      Cholecystectomies

          Conventional

        Endoscopic

·      Intra Abdominal cancer surgery

·      Liver resection

·      Liver transplant (to be introduced soon)

While providing the anaesthetic care of the highest order to these patients, the department resorts to the state of art monitoring techniques that include invasive pressure monitoring such as arterial pressure, central venous pressure, pulmonary artery and wedge pressures. In addition, advanced monitoring such as cardiac output and calculated haemodynamic parameters; transoesophageal echocardiography and BIS monitoring , neuro-muscular block monitoring, intraoperative EEG monitoring are routinely performed to ensure the anaesthetic care of the highest order and safety of patients during major surgical procedures.

Special clinics:

PAC clinic:Pre-anaesthetic check-up (PAC) clinic: The department runs PAC clinic on a daily basis from 8 am to 3 pm. The indoor and outdoor patients who are scheduled for surgical or interventional procedures are screened here for their fitness and suitability to undergo surgical or interventional procedure.

Pain clinic:The department runs a pain clinic on a weekly basis on each Saturday from 8 am to 1 pm. Patients suffering from chronic pain are examined here and advised appropriate treatment. Over 150 patients attend this clinic each year. Many of These patients are administered blocks for the relief of pain. The facility of radiofrequency coagulation and ultrasound guided blocks are being introduced as a step towards upgradation of the pain clinic facilities.                                       General Intensive Care unit:The department has a 7 bedded state of art mixed medical-surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Critically ill patients are admitted in the General ICU from both within and outside the hospital. The ICU is equipped with best ventilators and monitoring gadgets with adequate facilities for bedside procedures and point-of-care tests. A team of dedicated intensivists provide round-the-clock critical care services to the admitted patients. The expansion of General ICU to 15 beds with the starting of continuous renal replacement therapy and bedside ultrasonography is in the pipeline. The Department also intends to start postgraduate courses in Critical care medicine very soon.

The Red alert area:This is a multi-disciplinary facility in the hospital to provide emergency cover to the VVIPs. It is presently under charge of the department of anaesthesiology, and is kept in state of readiness for emergency health cover to visiting national and international VVIPs. The department also provides cover to all the VVIPs attending public functions / ceremonies and mass public rally(s) at ‘Ramlila Maidan’ which is just across the hospital campus. One of the senior faculty members is a nodal officer for the recently created Emergency Services Wing which will cater to critically sick patients of “Brain Attack and Heart Attack “(Stroke and Myocardial ischemia)

                                                   Blood Bank

Faculty/In-charge:

Departmental Profile:- The Blood Bank in G. B. Pant Hospital started in the year 1980. G.B.P.H Blood Bank has come a long way from  a humble beginning as an  off-shoot of L N J PN Blood Bank. It is one of the most important service departments of the hospital catering to blood requirements for patients from surgical as well as medical departments. Blood Bank started 24 hours emergency services from the year 1989. In addition to meeting the regular requirements of GBPH patients, Our Blood Bank also kept pace with advances in the field of Transfusion Medicine. Being a tertiary care hospital with super specialty clinical departments, the transfusion services have always faced challenges and successfully adopted advanced Equipments, Techniques and procedures.

We take pride in being the first in the following areas:-Blood Bank G. B. Pant Hospital is first amongst Delhi Govt. Blood Bank to start Blood Component separation services. The year 1996 saw the tragic outbreak of Dengue Fever, which soon took an epidemic proportion. During that time, there was no facility for Blood Component Separation in any of the Delhi Govt. Hospitals Blood Banks. Blood Bank G. B. Pant Hospital rose to the occasion to shoulder the responsibility. We were the first hospital notified by the Delhi Government as Platelet Services Provider during the Dengue Epidemic. Blood Bank G.B.P.H. still works like a Regional Transfusion Center with respect to Platelet products, thereby helping patients from  other Govt., Private Hospitals & Nursing Homes in the  NCR.                                                 . 2.We were the first Delhi Govt. Blood Bank to start Apheresis procedure in the year 1992. At that time, Plateletpheresis was being carried out at National level by only a very few other centers.                                                                                               . 3.We extended the facility of Apheresis to the patients with special Neurological Condition like“ MYASTHENIA GRAVIS”etc with the support of the Neurology Dept. of our Hospital in 1992. Therefore, we became the“First Blood Bank” in Delhi to start Therapeutic Plasmapheresis and to provide treatment to such patients. In some cases, this is the only treatment available to many of these patients.

4.From Sept., 2006, the facility of Therapeutic Apheresis was also extended to other GNCTD hospitals. We already have performed a range of procedures like LEUKOCYTAPHERESIS etc. and have the facility to perform many more like PBSC & Bone Marrow procedures if required, for  GBPH and LNJPN patients. Currently the facility is being operated from the Neurology department.

Blood Bank, G.B. Pant Hospital is always ahead in providing Blood and Blood components  to other Blood Banks including  Regional Transfusion Centers like LNJP Blood Bank & Indian Red Cross Society Blood Bank.
