Clinical focus

The areas of expertise listed for Dr. Çetin are intensive care treatment, advanced life support and palliative care. Intensive care treatment concerns patients whose condition requires close, continuous monitoring and support of vital functions, often after major surgery, serious illness or injury. Advanced life support refers to the structured measures used when a patient’s breathing or circulation fails and immediate intervention is needed. Palliative care is directed at relieving symptoms and supporting comfort for patients with serious or advanced illness, alongside or instead of treatment aimed at the disease itself.

Dr. Çetin’s background in anesthesiology and reanimation spans hospital intensive care units, surgical centers and specialist clinics, and his work has included supervising an intensive care unit as well as providing anesthesia for patients undergoing surgery in several settings. The suitability of any specific treatment is decided on an individual basis after the patient’s condition, history and existing records have been reviewed.

How Dr. Çetin works with international patients

Dr. Çetin consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem 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 allows a patient or family to speak with Dr. Çetin before travelling.
