Anaesthetic management for cardiac surgery in patients with cold haemagglutinin disease

Anaesthetic management of patients with cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators for noncardiac surgery.

P with cardiac disease presenting for noncardiac surgery pose a considerable challenge to the anesthesiologists. With the availability of better medical facility and sophisticated diagnostic methods, many patients especially of the elderly age group, are detected to have electrophysiological disorders. Pacemakers are being used with greater frequency for both conduction and arrhythmia problems ...

Anaesthetic Management in Cataract Surgery

Anaesthetic considerations for robotic-assisted cardiac surgery

Introduction Robotic-assisted surgery is increasingly being used in various surgical specialities to decrease blood loss, surgical stress and to improve cosmesis. Over past two decades it has become popular in cardiac surgery as well. Various cardiac surgical procedures like valve surgery, coronary artery surgery and congenital repair procedures can be done with robotic help. Anaesthetic manage...

Anaesthetic consideration in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices scheduled for surgery

With advances in cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, several newer implantable cardiac devices have become common in the surgical population. Multichamber pacemakers, implanted cardiac defibrillators and ventricular assist devices are frequent in current day practice. Many of the newer implantable cardiac electronic devices are targeted at managing heart failure. While managing such patients...

Anaesthetic management and outcomes in patients with surgically corrected D-transposition of the great arteries undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

BACKGROUND Patients with effective repair of D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) increasingly present for non-cardiac surgery. These patients may be predisposed to heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden death, especially after the atrial switch repair. This retrospective study was undertaken to review the care and outcomes of patients with D-TGA who presented for non-cardiac surgery. ...
