Noteworthy Literature published in 2017 for Congenital Cardiac Anesthesiologists

Abstract

This review focuses on the literature published during the 13 months from December 2016 to December 2017 that is of interest to anesthesiologists taking care of children and adults with congenital heart disease. Five themes are addressed during this time period and 100 peer-reviewed articles are discussed.

The Year in Review: Anesthesia for Congenital Heart Disease 2022

“…A review of emerging literature is a critical component of promoting safe care to children with congenital heart disease. This review follows a similar format to previous reviews by Ing and Twite from 2013 to 2018, [1][2][3][4][5][6] Houska and Schwartz in 2019, 7 Landsem et al in 2020, 8 and Ross et al in 2021. 9 The 2022 literature was searched via the U.S. National Library of Medicine PubMed database using the terms congenital heart disease (CHD), anesthesia, pediatric cardiology, cardiac surgery, and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).…”

The Year in Review: Anesthesia for Congenital Heart Disease 2020

“…Coupled with the high morbidity, mortality, and impact to quality of life associated with pediatric heart disease, a review of emerging data is an important component of advancing the safe care of children with heart disease. This year’s review of the congenital cardiac anesthesia literature follows the similar format as the reviews by Ing and Twite from the years 2013 to 2018 1-6 and Houska and Schwartz in 2019. 7 The 2020 and early 2021 literature was searched via the US National Library of Medicine PubMed database using the terms congenital heart disease (CHD), anesthesia, cardiac surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), pediatric cardiology, single ventricle (SV), and COVID-19.…”

Navigating the Perioperative Landscape of Patient-Oriented Outcome Studies of Cardiothoracic and Abdominal Transplant Surgical Patients in 2017

“…Drs Ing and Twite have provided an annual review of the congenital literature since the inception of this Noteworthy series, and the 2017 version again provides a comprehensive review of highly relevant key topics such as anesthetic agent neurotoxicity and neurological outcomes, imaging in congenital heart disease, congenital cardiac registries, transfusion management as a well as bleeding versus thrombosis management, and adult congenital heart disease. 14 The congenital review, much like our Noteworthy transplant reviews, cover some very specialized topics; however, there is also a significant number of topics pertinent to a broader audience, especially the sections on management of adult patients with congenital heart disease.…”
