Chasan Ismaıl Basa, MD

Chasan Ismaıl Basa, MD is an Emergency Service physician at Acibadem Atasehir Hospital in İstanbul. His work centers on the assessment and initial management of patients who present with urgent conditions, including trauma, toxic exposures, burns, bites and stings, and breathing-related emergencies such as drowning, acute hypoxia, and airway obstruction. He has more than four years in medicine and consults in Turkish and English.

Dr. Basa graduated from Marmara University Faculty of Medicine in 2024. His clinical training included an intern doctor period at Marmara University Faculty of Medicine from 2022 to 2023, as well as intern doctor rotations in Cardiothoracic Surgery at Northen General University and at Augusta University in 2022. From 2023 to 2024 he worked as a Resident Physician in General Surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. In 2024 he joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services. He has contributed to peer-reviewed publications, including a 2024 paper in Nutrition in Clinical Practice on muscle weakness and probable sarcopenia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, and a 2023 paper in the Archives of the Turkish Society of Cardiology on bendopnea as a predictor of right ventricular energy deficiency in pulmonary hypertension patients.

Clinical focus

Dr. Basa’s areas of expertise cover the range of emergency interventions encountered in an emergency department. He is involved in trauma care, which typically begins with a structured assessment of injuries, stabilization of vital functions, and coordination of further imaging or specialist input where needed. He also manages patients with burns, where early evaluation of the depth and extent of the injury guides wound care and decisions about further treatment.

A further part of his practice concerns toxicology and environmental emergencies. This includes the evaluation of toxic exposures, the management of bee stings and tick bites, and the care of patients affected by drowning, acute hypoxia, or airway obstruction. In these situations the emphasis lies on securing the airway and supporting breathing, monitoring the patient closely, and deciding on the appropriate level of ongoing care. Because emergency presentations vary widely, the specific approach in each case depends on the patient’s condition at the time of arrival and on the findings of the clinical examination.

How Dr. Basa works with international patients

Dr. Basa consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. For patients coming from abroad, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be used to review a case or to discuss follow-up after emergency treatment, keeping in mind that acute emergencies require in-person evaluation.
