Effect of Continuous Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block on Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio in On-Pump CABG: A Prospective Randomized Study
Background: Cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass causes a pronounced systemic inflammatory response. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a readily accessible inflammatory biomarker associated with adverse outcomes after card...

The Perioperative Management of Cold-Induced Urticaria in Cardiac Surgery With Hypothermia on Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Cold-induced urticaria is a chronic urticaria subtype which can result in a severe, life-threating, anaphylaxis type reaction to cold stimuli. While a rare condition, it has potentially significant implications in cardiac surgery, where ...

Postoperative ICU Biomarkers and Early Mortality After Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Severe Aortic Stenosis With Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction: Limited Discrimination of High-Sensitivity Troponin T
Early postoperative risk stratification after surgical aortic valve replacement remains challenging in patients with severe aortic stenosis and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Although postoperative troponin elevation is expe...

A Review of Anesthetic Considerations for Subcutaneous and Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are critical for the prevention of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias and are commonly encountered in the perioperative space. Traditional devices contain transvenous leads ...

Survival Beyond 72 hours After Penetrating Arrow Injury to the Heart Managed Without Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Case of Delayed Physiologic Stabilization and Off-Pump Repair
Penetrating chest injuries are associated with high mortality because visceral and vascular structures are situated close together, and injury to these can be devastating due to the limited time for resuscitation. Such injuries often cau...
