Cardiothoracic Critical Care Anesthesiology Fellowship

Cardiovascular/Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Units (CVICU/CTICU) have impacted the care for cardiovascular patients greatly over the last few decades. The care that is needed for these high-acuity patients requires advanced training and understanding about non-cardiovascular comorbidities and their impact on cardiovascular patients. The technology involved in taking care of patients with cardiac insufficiency has become both very specialized and complex.

The Anesthesiology Institute at the Cleveland Clinic supports the CVICUs, consisting of 95 beds, where a wide-range of critically ill patients are housed. The goal of this Cardiothoracic Critical Care Anesthesiology fellowship is to expose advanced level fellows to a wide variety of cardiac, vascular, and thoracic pathologies, where they will care for critically ill patients while gaining experience and exposure to teaching residents and fellows who rotate through the CVICUs at the Cleveland Clinic.

In addition, trainees will gain a mastery of a variety of mechanical circulatory support technologies as well as the critical care management of heart and lung transplantation.
