Cardiac anaesthesia and critical care at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai in Kottayam, Kerala provides specialised perioperative care for patients undergoing heart surgery and complex cardiac procedures. The service is supported by a dedicated cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) and advanced life support capabilities, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for selected critically ill patients.

Our specialists provide anaesthesia for open cardiac surgery, minimally invasive cardiac procedures, and cardiac transplantation, while the critical care team manages patients before, during, and after major procedures. ECMO can provide temporary support for heart and lung function in critically ill patients when conventional treatment is not sufficient, with ongoing care in the cardiac ICU.
