[Edwin19911000]

Ouch i woulda pass out completly but I give him props nd respect for doing a awake surgery.. ;) p.s he looks like the Mexican Guy from (born on east L.A )

news flash- epidural anesthesia is no safer than general anesthesia, unless you're a pregnant woman having a c-section. this technique is not suitable for all patients and i personally would be afraid of having an epidural hematoma after receiving 5000 units of heparin IV to maintain the grafts.

Great job at Wockhardt, Bangalore. At least now the WEST won't talk about India as being tiger country and snake charmers. Are you listening Canada and the US?

[vermura]

This is good medicine - minimum interference for the win.

[praling]

this is awesome. "hey, can i have a glass of water? im kinda thirsty from having dry cheesecloths stuffed inside my chest cavity and from having my exposed beating heart lose moisture to the air..."

[billlaAurbillli]

seems 2 be a hoax! wat anastheisa technique are they using?The patient is cooled down to 26 celcius how is he going to tolerate taht awake??!! No heart lung machine is seen ow was this a by-pass.?how is the valve reeplacement done wheen the atria or the ventrical has to be opened???

[ghallica]

marvellous!

I wonder very much what we would say when they do it endoscopically via closed chest wall!

[vadodarya]

I wonder it the author can tell me if the post op risk of Afib is diminished with this method. Do you have the stats for post op Afib? I would like to compare it the standard.

[giggletronics]

indian doctors are geniuses. the admissions process into medical school is ridiculously competitive.

[nit78]

OK, they are good, and competition is rigrous, especially for AIIMS, MAMC, JIPMEr.. but don't add spice and extrapolate. Just say some indian doctors are very good

[ratraty]

This is awesome. Heck it could even be said the group who came up with this can be atleast considered for a Nobel.

[sarge5000]

are you kidding??? definitely not a nobel worthy in any way whatsoever. this isn't that novel.
