π« Anesthesia for Cardiac Surgery reviews preoperative evaluation, CPB, anticoagulation, myocardial protection, TEE, and anesthetic management in CABG and valvular procedures β essential for both the EDAIC Part I and high-acuity cardiac anesthesia care.
π What Youβll Learn
Cardiac surgery represents one of the most physiologically demanding and technically complex areas in anesthetic practice. This module provides a structured and clinically integrated review of anesthetic management for cardiac procedures β essential for both EDAIC Part I success and high-risk clinical care. Topics include:
π« Preoperative Cardiac Evaluation β Functional capacity, stress testing, echocardiography, anesthesia risk stratification
β»οΈ Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) Principles β Cannulation, hemodilution, hypothermia, non-pulsatile flow
π HeparinβProtamine Management β Dosing, ACT targets, reversal protocols, protamine reactions
π‘οΈ Myocardial Protection β Cardioplegia strategies, ischemia-reperfusion injury prevention
π©» Intraoperative TEE β Standard views, wall motion assessment, valvular evaluation, air embolism detection
π§ Valvular Disease (AS, AI) β Hemodynamic implications of aortic stenosis and insufficiency, anesthetic goals
β€οΈ CABG Surgery β On-pump vs off-pump considerations, graft protection, arrhythmia management
π Whatβs Included
β EDAIC-style Multiple-True-False questions
π Based on:
βββ’ Millerβs Anesthesia
βββ’ Barash Clinical Anesthesia
βββ’ Lange Clinical Anesthesiology
βββ’ EACTS, STS, and ESAIC cardiac anesthesia guidelines
