| Abstract | 「Introduction」In Indonesia Anesthesiology was only recognized as a separate specialty in December 1964. Prior to this anesthesia were performed by surgeons or trained nurses. The first Head of the Department of Anesthesiology at the Medical Faculty University of Indonesia was the late Professor Kelan who was sent to the United States in 1951 while still a second year surgery resident to be trained as the first fully qualified anesthesiologist in Indonesia. 「Hirtory of Cardiac Anesthesia In Indonesia」The first cardiac surgery performed by an Indonesian surgeon was in 1956. The procedure was a successful Beck's mitral commisurotomy done under ether anesthesia. In 1961 the late Professor Kelan administered ether anesthesia combined with hypothermia for ASD closure, which was the first intracardiac correction done in Indonesia. The patient having been anesthetized was lowered into a bathtub full of ice water unil the patient's body temperature fell to 28℃. Then the patient was quickly removed to the operating table and prepared for surgery. After the surgeon ligated both the superior and inferior vena cava and clamped the aorta the closure of the ASD was performed as quickly as possible. |
