Mechanisms of protective effect of regional anesthesia in relation to the development of cardiac complications in non-cardiosurgical operations

Data on factors contributing to the development of postoperative cardiac complications (myocardial infarction, heart failure, arrhythmias) in non-cardiosurgical operations are presented. Hypotension and blood loss usually distinguished among such factors, but less attention is paid role neuroendocrine reactions, particular, hyperactivation sympathoadrenal system; protective effect anesthesia, regional anesthesia: epidural anesthesia spinal anesthesia. Therefore, review focuses description effects their mechanisms, prevention neurogenic dystrophy internal organs, including cardiovascular system.
