Synopsis

What does it take to manage anesthesia when a patient's heart is stopped for surgery? How do you recognize the causes of hemodynamic instability during cardiopulmonary bypass? And what makes anesthetic management of a heart transplant recipient different from that of other cardiac surgical patients?Cardiac anesthesia is a demanding specialty where understanding physiology, interpreting monitoring data, anticipating complications, and making timely clinical decisions all matter. From the first preoperative assessment to the transition into intensive care, every stage requires careful planning and a sound understanding of cardiovascular function.Cardiac Anesthesia and Heart Transplantation is a comprehensive clinical guide designed to help readers understand the principles, techniques, and challenges of modern cardiac anesthesia and transplant care. It follows the patient's journey through assessment, anesthesia, surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass, transplantation, and postoperative recovery, connecting scientific principles with practical clinical applications. Inside this book, you will explore:Cardiovascular physiology and cardiac anesthesia pharmacology, including cardiac output, ventricular function, myocardial oxygen balance, and vasoactive medications.Preoperative assessment and risk stratification, including functional capacity, frailty, echocardiography, coronary angiography, and patient optimization. Intraoperative anesthesia and advanced monitoring, including arterial and central venous monitoring, pulmonary artery catheters, cardiac output measurement, and transesophageal echocardiography.Cardiopulmonary bypass and myocardial protection, covering bypass circuits, anticoagulation, hemostasis, cardioplegia, temperature management, cerebral protection, and separation from bypass.Anesthesia for major cardiac procedures, including coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic and mitral valve surgery, thoracic aortic operations, congenital heart disease, and minimally invasive cardiac procedures.Heart transplantation, from donor selection and organ procurement to recipient assessment, transplant anesthesia, graft reperfusion, denervation physiology, immunosuppression, rejection, and infection.Mechanical circulatory support, including intra-aortic balloon pumps, Impella, ventricular assist devices, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.Postoperative cardiac critical care, including hemodynamic support, ventilation, extubation, bleeding, tamponade, arrhythmias, renal complications, neurologic problems, analgesia, and rehabilitation.Learning cardiac anesthesia requires the ability to connect physiological principles with real clinical problems. This book reinforces that approach through structured learning objectives, clinical pearls, original schematic illustrations, explanatory tables, clinical case discussions, review questions, and suggested further reading.Add Cardiac Anesthesia and Heart Transplantation to your medical library.
