Regional anaesthesia in patients at coronary risk for noncardiac and cardiac surgery

Abstract: This review presents a brief overview about the role of regional anaesthesia in patients at risk for myocardial ischemia and/or infarction after cardiac and noncardiac surgical procedures. It includes pathophysiological insights in the problems of plaque rupture and the possible interactions by the use of regional anaesthesia. Special emphasis is put on the subject of thoracic epidural anaesthesia with newer studies showing improvement in relief of angina and improvement of global systolic and diastolic functi… Show more

“…Morbidity is significantly reduced during the perioperative period in terms of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, transfusion need, pneumonia, respiration depression, myocardial infarction, and renal insufficiency in patients to whom peripheral nerve block is applied instead of GA [ 4 , 5 ]. Additionally, peripheral blocks have many advantages compared with GA among patients with high cardiac risks; they reduce the workload of the heart, improve pulmonary function, increase oxygenation, increase mobilisation, protect cognitive functions, and reduce pain and stress [ 6 , 7 ]. Naja et al compared combined sciatic-paravertebral block with GA related to hip fracture surgery among elderly patients and reported lower hypotension incidences and fewer postoperative intensive care needs during surgery in patients to whom combined sciatic-paravertebral block was applied [ 8 ].…”

“…Durch die Anwendung einer thoraka len Epiduralanästhesie lassen sich auf grund der Koronargefäßdilatation, Reduk tion der Herzfrequenz, reduzierten Vor und Nachlast mit daraus resultierender ökonomisierter Herzfunktion sowie ver bessertem Sauerstoffangebot und ver brauch [18] bezüglich einer myokardia len Ischämierate sowie globaler systo lischer und diastolischer kardialer Funk tion deutliche Vorteile aufzeigen [14].…”

“…Das selbe wäre für die Anlage einer tief lumba len Epiduralanästhesie anzunehmen. Bei de Verfahren weisen aber angesichts der Ausdehnung und der kompensatorischen Sympathikusaktivierung in den nichtblo ckierten thorakalen Segmenten für kardio vaskuläre Risikopatienten ein ungünsti geres Risikoprofil auf [14]. Eine unsichere Ausbreitung und Beeinflussbarkeit gegen über der Spinalanästhesie wäre in beiden Fällen allerdings nicht gegeben gewesen.…”

“…Während 7 Regionalanästhesieverfahren in der Kardiochirurgie nur eine untergeordnete Rolle bei den Fast-Track-Protokollen spielen [40,41,42], haben sie in der Abdominalchirurgie eine zentrale Bedeutung auch bei laparoskopisch durchgeführten Eingriffen [18,32,42,49,50].…”
