Pecto-intercostal Fascial Plane Block: A Novel Technique for Analgesia in Patients with Sternal Dehiscence
Ann Card Anaesth. 2024 Apr 1;27(2):169-174. doi: 10.4103/aca.aca_107_23. Epub 2024 Apr 12.ABSTRACTSternal wound complications following sternotomy need a multidisciplinary approach in high-risk postoperative cardiac surgical patients. Poorly controlled pain during surgical management of such wounds increases cardiovascular stress and respiratory complications. Multimodal analgesia including intravenous opioids, non-opioid analgesics, and regional anesthesia techniques, like central neuraxial blocks and fascial plane blocks, have been described. Pecto-intercostal fascial plane block (PIFB), a novel technique, has been effec...

Incidence and Risk Factors for Postoperative Visual Loss after Cardiac Surgical Procedures: A Systematic Review
Ann Card Anaesth. 2024 Apr 1;27(2):101-110. doi: 10.4103/aca.aca_85_23. Epub 2024 Apr 12.ABSTRACTPostoperative visual loss (POVL) is an infrequent yet consequential complication that can follow cardiac surgical interventions. This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the incidence of POVL after cardiac surgery and to delineate the associated risk factors. A comprehensive search was conducted in major medical databases for relevant studies published up to September 2022. Eligible studies reporting on the incidence of POVL and identifying risk factors in patients undergoing cardiac surgery were inclu...

Epidural Catheterization in Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Risk Assessment of Epidural Hematoma
This study aims to provide an updated assessment of the clinical risks of epidural anesthesia in cardiac surgery, focusing on the occurrence of epidural hematomas and subsequent paralysis. A systematic search of Embase, Medline, Ovid Central, Web of Science, and PubMed was conducted to identify relevant publications between 1966 and 2022. Two independent reviewers assessed the eligibility of the retrieved manuscripts. Studies reporting adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with epidural catheterization were included. The incidence of hematomas was calculated by dividing the number of hematomas by the total number of pa...

Evaluation of Postoperative Pain After Cardiothoracic Surgery in Patients With and Without Significant Preoperative Anxiety: A Prospective Observational Study
CONCLUSIONS: This clinical trial demonstrated that greater than 60% of the participants presented with preoperative anxiety, the majority being young participants. Lower socioeconomic status is also a risk factor for preoperative anxiety. Patients who suffered from preoperative anxiety are more likely to have greater pain scores and analgesic needs during postsurgical assessment.PMID:38607875 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_175_23 (Source: Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia)

Empowering Little Fighters: Post-Cardiotomy Pediatric ECMO and the Journey to Recovery
CONCLUSION: The early initiation of ECMO for paediatric cardiotomies could be a beacon of hope for families and medical teams confronting these challenging situations. Improvement in indicators of adequate perfusion and ventricular recoveries like pH and serum lactate and absence of arrhythmia and sepsis are associated with good outcomes.PMID:38607876 | DOI:10.4103/aca.aca_184_23 (Source: Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia)
