Volatile (inhaled) anesthetic agents have cardioprotective effects, which might improve clinical outcomes in patients undergoing coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG).We conducted a pragmatic, multicenter, single-blind, controlled trial at 36 centers 13 countries. Patients scheduled to undergo elective CABG were randomly assigned an intraoperative regimen that included volatile (desflurane, isoflurane, or sevoflurane) total intravenous anesthesia. The primary outcome was death from any...
Corticosteroids are widely used in pediatric cardiac surgery to blunt systemic inflammatory response and reduce complications; nevertheless, their clinical efficacy is uncertain.To determine whether intraoperative administration of dexamethasone more effective than placebo for reducing major complications mortality during surgery.The Intraoperative Dexamethasone Pediatric Cardiac Surgery was an investigator-initiated, double-blind, multicenter randomized trial that involved 4 centers China,...
We examined the potential for voice sounds to predict a difficult airway as compared with prediction by modified Mallampati test. A total of 453 patients scheduled elective surgery under general anaesthesia tracheal intubation were studied. Five phonemes recorded and their formants analysed. Difficult laryngoscopy was defined Cormack-Lehane grade 3 or 4. Univariate multivariate logistic regression used examine association between some variables (mouth opening, sternomental distance,...
Background This survey aimed to explore the availability and accessibility of echocardiography during noncardiac surgery worldwide. Methods An internet-based 45-item was sent, followed by reminders from August 30, 2021, 20, 2022. Results 1189 responses were received 62 countries. Nearly seventy-one percent respondents had intraoperatively used transesophageal or transthoracic (TEE TTE, respectively) for monitoring examination. The unavailability machines (30.3%), lack trained personnel...
Minimizing the use of blood component can reduce known and unknown transfusion risks, preserve bank resources, decrease healthcare costs. Red Blood Cell (RBC) is common after cardiac surgery associated with adverse perioperative outcomes, including mortality. Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) may bleeding need for product surgery. However, its blood-saving effect impact on major outcomes remain uncertain.

Recent experimental evidence shows that sevoflurane can reduce the inflammatory response during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. However, this observation so far has not been assessed in an adequately powered randomized controlled trial.We plan to include one hundred patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft who will be receive either volatile anesthetics or total intravenous anesthesia. The primary endpoint of study is assess by measuring PMN-elastase serum...
This document represents the first update of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anaesthesia Fellowship Curriculum European Association Anaesthesiology Intensive Care. After obtaining feedback from exit interviews with fellows in training, graduate fellows, program directors, 2 modified online Delphi procedures questionnaires were conducted. A consensus was reached when two-thirds responding committee members gave green or yellow ratings on a traffic light system, >70% indicated strong agreement...
Context: Myocardial injury during cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a major determinant of morbidity and mortality.Preclinical clinical evidence dose-and time-related cardioprotective effects volatile anesthetic drugs exist their use the whole duration could improve perioperative protection.Even if administering agents CPB are relatively easy, technical problems, such as waste gas scavenging, may prevent safe manageable administration halogenated vapors CPB.Aims: The aim...
