"Opening the sternum, seeing the heart beating, then cannulating, going on Cardio Pulmonary Bypass, arresting the heart, cooling it, operating inside the heart, repairing it, constructing pathways in it, replacing damaged structures , doing various anastomosis, closing it back, removing air from heart chambers, reperfusing the heart, seeing it beat again, weaning from CPB, removing cannulas, hemostasis and closing back the sternum are the various steps involved in Cardiac Surgery. And then starts the equally important post operative care which may extend from few hours to many days. There are hardly any U turns, a small error in any step by any of team members can lead to high morbidity or mortality."

I have made the video called 'A Day in Life of a Cardiac Surgeon' to showcase the glory of cardiac surgery, so that young medicos and residents consider joining this beautiful branch, which is fast loosing it's charm amongst medicos due to many many reasons. The purpose of the video is also to show case the moments and feelings that flow in the hearts of a cardiac surgeon. Nothing can be more beautiful than to touch a beating human heart. It's the feeling that is so divine that only those who experience it can tell about it.
