ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

To review the evolution of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery with particular reference to the anaesthetic and perioperative implications.

FINDINGS:

After review of the literature regarding coronary artery bypass grafting, the adverse effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on the various systems are discussed The development and the present status of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery and its anaesthetic implications are reviewed These are discussed under the categories of preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative concerns. In Trinidad and Tobago, various cardiac surgical teams from different parts of the world conduct cardiac surgery. The cardiac anaesthesia team therefore has the unique opportunity of working with several teams who employ different techniques.

CONCLUSIONS:

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery has distinct anaesthetic implications. In Trinidad and Tobago, the majority (85%) of the coronary revascularization surgeries are being done by this technique. Because of the lower cost and improved outcomes, this technique could be recommended to other developing countries of the region.
RESUMEN

Objetivos:

Examinar la evolución de la cirugía de bypass coronario (revascularización coronaria) sin circulación extracorpórea, con referencia particular a las implicaciones anestésicas y perioperatorias. Hallazgos Tras examinar la literatura en relación con el bypass coronario con injerto, se discuten los efectos adversos del bypass cardiopulmonar en los distintos sistemas. Se analiza el desarrollo y el estatus presente de la cirugía de bypass coronario sin circulación extracorpórea (“sin bomba”) y sus implicaciones anestésicas. El análisis se realiza bajo las categorías de problemas pre-operatorios, intra-operatorios y post-operatorios. En Trinidad y Tobago, varios equipos de cirugía cardiaca de diferentes partes del mundo llevan a cabo cirugía cardiaca. Por lo tanto, el equipo que tiene a su cargo la anestesia durante las intervenciones quirúrgicas del corazón tiene la oportunidad excepcional de trabajar con varios equipos que emplean diferentes técnicas.

Conclusiones:

La cirugía de injerto de bypass coronario sin circulación extracorpórea tiene claras implicaciones anestésicas. En Trinidad y Tobago, la mayoría (85%) de las cirugías de revascularización coronaria, se realizan mediante esta técnica. Debido a su bajo costo y al mejoramiento en sus resultados, esta técnica podría recomendarse a los países en desarrollo de la región.
