Who is involved in a open heart surgery?

Hi. I am a cardiac anesthesiologist, so you're in my territory here. As for the operating room, there will be the cardiothoracic surgeon, who will have an assistant (either another surgeon or a physician's assistant), one or two cardiac circulating nurses, one or two surgical technicians (who pass instruments), a perfusionist (who runs the heart-lung machine), and the fabulous anesthesiologist at the head of the bed. With all the equipment, the patient, and all these people the room gets pretty crowded. Of course there are nurses in preop and the intensive care unit and stepdown nurses who take care of the patient postoperatively, but they are not in the operating room. Usually the patient's cardiologist will also follow the patient's progress while in the hospital. If you or a family member are having surgery soon I do wish you best of luck and a good recovery.


What is the meaning of a pre op transexual?

A transexual is someone who believes him or herself to be the other gender from the one he/she was born, and undergoes hormone therapy and surgery to change the appearance of the body to the other gender (gender reassignment surgery). A preop transexual is someone who has decided to undergo gender reassignment surgery, has started taking hormone therapy, and usually has been living as the other gender for 1-2 years and undergoing therapy, but has not yet had the surgery. The hormones can alter the appearance of the preop transexual, making them appear more like the other gender. For example, men taking female hormones can stop growing facial hair, lose muscle mass, and become less aggresive. Females taking male hormones can start getting facial hair, gain muscle mass, and have a deeper voice. Some preop transexuals decide to stop and this point and live as the other gender with the hormones, without undergoing surgery. After gender reassignment surgery, the person will then legally be the gender they have been altered to be.
