Dr. Abraham Gerald Henry

Dr. Abraham Gerald Henry is a Consultant Cardiac Anaesthesiologist at Royal Care Super Speciality Hospital in Coimbatore. Royal Care lists MBBS and MD qualifications and places him within the Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery service. His medical and anaesthesia training was completed at Christian Medical College, Vellore.

His stated field of interest is anaesthesia for adult cardiac surgery and cardiac ICU management. Royal Care records earlier consultant cardiac-anaesthesiology appointments in Coimbatore from 2005 to 2013 and at Kurinji Hospital from 2013 to 2016 before his current Royal Care role.

Cardiac anaesthesiology covers perioperative assessment, anaesthesia during major heart and vascular procedures and immediate postoperative care. The anaesthesiologist works alongside cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, perfusion teams and intensive-care clinicians to manage haemodynamics, ventilation, pain control, anticoagulation-related issues and recovery around surgery.

The exact anaesthetic plan varies according to the operation and the patient’s cardiac and non-cardiac conditions. This work requires close coordination before, during and immediately after surgery.

Before cardiac surgery, relevant information includes echocardiography, coronary imaging, lung and kidney function, blood tests and medication history. Previous reactions to anaesthesia, difficult airway history, anticoagulant or antiplatelet use and other major illnesses should also be disclosed.

Dr. Henry’s role is therefore part of the wider cardiac-surgical pathway rather than a stand-alone procedure service; final perioperative decisions are made after assessment by the treating cardiac and anaesthesia teams.
