 Dr. Scott Johnson and Galen Pahl discuss their anesthetic regime for the upcoming case. |
 Dr. Scott Johnson of the Emergency Animal Clinic of Austin, Texas travels to A&M to assist in the anesthetic and recovery management of our open-heart patients. |
 Galen Pahl works with John Anderson (a student worker who will be leaving this summer to go to medical school). Galen does so many jobs for the team it is hard to list them all. His patient care, pain management, anesthesia, and IV placement skills far surpass even the best of anesthesia technicians. |
 The cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machine ready to be connected to the patient. The machine contains a clear fluid until it is connected to the patient's heart. CPB allows surgeons to stop the heart from beating and actually open and operate on the inside of the heart and valves. After repair the heart is closed and when blood flow is returned to the heart it begans to beat again. |
