Dr. Paul Sadleir is a specialist heart and lung Anaesthetist

Dr Paul Sadleir is a specialist cardiothoracic anaesthesiologist and medical perfusionist who practices in both tertiary teaching and private hospitals. He has particular interests in minimally-invasive approaches to mitral, aortic and coronary surgery. He has echocardiography qualifications with the University of Melbourne, has completed the National Board of Echocardiography’s APTEeXAM, and has a graduate diploma in professional writing. Dr Sadleir believes that, as is the case for anaesthetists, the true value of a highly trained perfusionist is only evident during a crisis, and it is for this reason that the most exceptional perfusionists will most rarely be appreciated.
