Robotic Cardiac Surgery Part II: Anesthetic Considerations for Robotic Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
Coronary artery bypass grafting represents one of the most commonly performed cardiac surgeries worldwide. Recently, interest has increased in providing patients with a less invasive approach to cardiac surgery, such as thoracotomy and endoscopic tec...

Robotic Cardiac Surgery Part I: Anesthetic Considerations in Totally Endoscopic Robotic Cardiac Surgery (TERCS).

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
The application and evolution of total endoscopic robotic cardiac surgery (TERCS) has become greater as institutions and surgeons become more comfortable with robotic technology. Over the years many improvements have been made to facilitate technical...

A Comparative Study of Point-of-Care Prothrombin Time in Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVE: Point-of-care (POC) devices allow for prothrombin time/international normalized ratio (PT/INR) testing in whole blood (WB) and timely administration of plasma or prothrombin complex concentrate during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. This s...

Incidence and Predictors of Postoperative Need for High-Dose Inotropic Support in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery for Infective Endocarditis.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVE: Patients with infective endocarditis undergoing cardiac surgery are a high-risk population. Few data on incidence and predictors of need for high-dose inotropic support in this setting are currently available.

Comparative Study Between Conventional Fasting Versus Overnight Infusion of Lipid or Carbohydrate on Insulin and Free Fatty Acids in Obese Patients Undergoing Elective On-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. A Prospective Randomized Trial.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVES: Postoperative insulin resistance represents a major component of postoperative metabolic disorder. The authors compared the effects of preoperative infusion of lipid emulsion or carbohydrate to conventional preoperative fasting on postope...

Association Between Optic Nerve Head Blood Flow Measured Using Laser Speckle Flowgraphy and Radial Arterial Pressure During Aortic Arch Surgery.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to investigate the association between ocular blood flow measured using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) and radial arterial pressure during aortic arch surgery.

Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Adults Undergoing On-Pump CABG Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVE: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery commonly threatens the heart and remote organs with ischemia-reperfusion injury. Transient episodes of ischemia to nonvital tissue, known as remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), is thought to help lo...

Apneic Oxygenation Versus Low-Tidal-Volume Ventilation in Anesthetized Cardiac Surgical Patients: A Prospective, Single-Center, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVES: To compare the physiology of apneic oxygenation with low-tidal-volume (VT) ventilation during harvesting of the left internal mammary artery.
