Future Directions in Cardiac and Vascular Anesthesia: Unanswered Questions Regarding Variables Controllable by Anesthetic Management
David L. Reich, MD
Mount Sinai School of Medicine, One Gustave L. Levy Place, Box 1010, New York, NY 10029
The influence of anesthetic choices and techniques upon outcomes in cardiac surgery is difficult to ascertain because of the low incidence of morbid and fatal outcomes that are attributable to anesthetic management. This discussion summarizes several areas that have been addressed in clinical trials, including temperature management, intraoperative hemodynamics, and glucose control.
