Effects of a forced-air warming system and warmed intravenous fluids on hemodynamic parameters, shivering, and time to awakening in elderly patients undergoing open cardiac surgery
CONCLUSION: The results revealed that FAWS could mitigate the degree of hypothermia, increase body temperature and decrease the postoperative serum lactate levels. Moreover, BE as one of the most important parameters for ABGs, could remain at a normal level. Besides, the use of FAWS could lead to early awakening, and thus facilitate weaning and extubation of these patients.PMID:37861571 | PMC:PMC10691583 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_20_23 (Source: Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia)

Role of magnesium alone or in combination with diltiazem and/or amiodarone in prevention of atrial fibrillation following off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the use of amiodarone and/or diltiazem in addition to magnesium did not result in additional benefit of lowering the incidence of AF.PMID:37861573 | PMC:PMC10691575 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_35_23 (Source: Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia)

Effect of intravenous levosimendan or milrinone on left atrial pressure in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting-A prospective double-blind, randomized controlled trial
Conclusion: Levosimendan may be used as a primary inotrope in terms of better reduction in left atrial pressure during different stages of OPCAB, translating to a decrease in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, therefore maintaining optimum coronary perfusion pressure, which is the primary goal of the surgery.PMID:37861575 | PMC:PMC10691577 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_51_23 (Source: Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia)

Comparison of success rate of abducted and neutral arm position for right infraclavicular subclavian vein cannulation under real-time ultrasound guidance in patients undergoing elective neurosurgery under general anesthesia
CONCLUSION: For USG-guided infraclavicular subclavian vein cannulation, abducted arm position, and neutral arm position in terms of first attempt success rate, number of attempts and associated complications has comparable results; however, further studies with larger group of patients are required to assess the overall advantage of abducted arm position over neutral arm position.PMID:37861576 | PMC:PMC10691558 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_32_23 (Source: Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia)

Abnormally low regional cerebral oxygen saturation after induction of anesthesia without neurological abnormality: A case report
Ann Card Anaesth. 2023 Oct-Dec;26(4):442-445. doi: 10.4103/aca.aca_194_22.ABSTRACTMeasurement of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in cardiac surgery is known to be useful in reducing postoperative neurological complications. We here present a case of a 71-year-old man in whom severe decrease in unilateral rSO2 was observed after induction of general anesthesia for percutaneous mitral valve clipping, although no neurological abnormalities were found. NIRS does not always predict postoperative neurological complications.PMID:37861582 | PMC:PMC10691559 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_19...
