Acute Post-Operative Outcomes of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with Regional Anesthesia
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a widely performed surgical procedure traditionally under general anesthesia; however, regional anesthesia techniques including truncal plane blocks are increasingly used. These techniques can improve post-operative pain control, reduce opioid use with better immediate post-operative pain relief and potentially reduce post-operative complications [1-3]. Regional anesthesia has been associated with improved early outcomes, including reduced postoperative arrhythmias and enhanced recovery quality [4,5]. Recommendations from the Enhanced Recovery after Cardiac Surgery Society have spurred interest in improving post-operative outcomes [6].
