Opioid Free Cardiac Surgery: A Multimodal Pain Management Strategy with a Focus on Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block Catheters
Cardiac surgery requiring sternotomy presents unique challenges for perioperative and postoperative analgesia. Intraoperatively, the sympathetic response to surgical stimulation must be carefully modulated to prevent excessive bleeding, maintain the integrity of surgical repairs, and decrease the risk of stroke or iatrogenic aortic injury without compromising myocardial and systemic perfusion. This must be achieved in patients whose underlying abnormal physiology coupled with the effects of the surgical procedure often result in tenuous hemodynamics.

The association between intraoperative fluid management and perioperative allogenic blood transfusion during adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery
CONCLUSION: These results indicate a statistical association between the increase in crystalloid intake and the risk of allogenic blood transfusion during surgical correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Controlled studies are needed to address the causative relation between intraoperative fluid intake and the risk of allogenic transfusion.PMID:37386846 | DOI:10.1111/pan.14722

The Price of Keeping the Rhythm: Increased Bleeding Risk in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Concurrently Prescribed Amiodarone and Factor Xa Inhibitors
Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia affecting nearly 2% of the population of the United States.1 Patients with atrial fibrillation are twice as likely to have a myocardial infarction and five-times as likely to have a stroke.1 Current guidelines recommend antiarrhythmic pharmacotherapy in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation as first-line management.2-4 Amiodarone is a very effective, and therefore, a commonly prescribed agent for this purpose.5 Anticoagulation is a key tenet in the management of atrial fibrillation due to the increased tendency of left atrial appendage clot formati...
