Dr. Carlos Viejo is Chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology.
Among his priorities is that of maintaining optimum patient safety
levels at all times in the OR. As surgical cases have increased,
the Anesthesiology Department is expanding its services into the
Orthopaedic, Pediatric, ENT, and OB/GYN areas.
Dr. Viejo and
his staff are also taking an active role in the pain management
area. His anesthesiologists work with patients recovering from
an operation or those in pain, as well as with their physicians, to
develop a plan of action to relieve discomfort.
“We are contributing
to surgical excellence and providing essential support in monitoring
and assessing patients during pre-operative, operative, and
post-operative situations,” stated Dr. Viejo.
Bronx-Lebanon’s Department of Surgery, as well as its Department
of Anesthesiology, are bringing a diversity of skills and expertise to
their patients. Their overriding goal is surgical excellence. State-ofthe-
art operating room facilities and use of sophisticated technology,
as well as advanced surgical, anesthesia, and pain management
procedures are an integral part of both departments’ efforts.
