Track: Cardiac Anesthesia and Critical Care
.webp)
The "Cardiac
Anesthesia and Critical Care" session will explore the critical role of
anesthesia and intensive care in managing patients undergoing cardiac
procedures. With a focus on advanced anesthetic techniques, the session will
cover how tailored anesthetic management enhances patient safety during
high-risk surgeries such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve
repairs. It will also address the evolving strategies in post-operative care,
including pain management, sedation, and the use of advanced monitoring
technologies to optimize recovery. Through these insights, the session will
highlight the future of cardiac anesthesia in ensuring both immediate and
long-term recovery in cardiovascular patients.
Anesthesia for
Cardiac Surgery: Explore the anesthetic management of patients undergoing
high-risk surgeries such as CABG, heart valve repair or replacement, and heart
transplants. Key considerations include induction agents, maintenance
anesthesia, and strategies for hemodynamic support during surgery.
Intraoperative
Monitoring: Delve into the advanced monitoring techniques essential in cardiac
anesthesia, such as invasive arterial pressure monitoring, transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE), central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring, and cardiac
output measurement. These techniques allow anesthesiologists to maintain
optimal hemodynamics during surgery.
Anesthesia for
Percutaneous Interventions: Understand the anesthesia management required for
interventional cardiology procedures like angioplasty, stent placement, and
electrophysiology procedures. These minimally invasive techniques present
unique challenges, including sedation and monitoring of patients in a
non-surgical setting.
Postoperative
Management and Recovery: Focus on the recovery phase after cardiac surgery,
including pain management, sedation protocols, and strategies to prevent
complications such as arrhythmias, stroke, and acute kidney injury. Effective
postoperative care is crucial for improving patient outcomes and accelerating
recovery.
Anesthesia for
High-Risk Cardiac Patients: Discuss the unique anesthetic considerations when
managing high-risk cardiac patients, including those with heart failure,
valvular heart disease, coronary artery disease, and pulmonary hypertension.
Specialized techniques and careful monitoring are required to ensure patient
safety.
Innovations in
Cardiac Anesthesia: Learn about the latest advancements in ultrasound-guided
regional anesthesia, goal-directed fluid therapy, and the use of new anesthetic
agents that improve patient outcomes, reduce recovery times, and enhance
intraoperative safety.
