Risk stratification and scoringsystems
Dening independent risk factors for major adverse cardiac and
cerebrovascular events in the era of big datasets is statistically easy.
New risk factors are frequently published which correlate with increased or decreased risk in cardiac surgery, and it seems that no patient characteristic is statistically neutral in this regard. Integrating
this knowledge into accurate prognostic tools, which can be reliably
used to inform decision- making and counsel patients, is more difcult. However, as comorbidity levels continue to increase, and patients demand accurate risk information as active decision- makers
in their care, a reliable risk scoring system would be extremely useful.
e STS risk models are based on analysis of a national (United
States) database that has been collecting data since 1989. Currently,
more than 90% of cardiac centres in the United States submit their
data, and 5.8million records have been accumulated. is enables
prediction of a large number of outcomes including stroke, prolonged
ventilation, deep sternal wound infection, renal failure, reoperation,
length of stay, and mortality. e EuroSCORE was derived from
20,000 patients from 128 hospitals in eight European countries, and
predicts 30- day mortality only. It was corrected with logistic analysis
for high- risk patients in 2003, and updated in 2011 (EuroSCORE II).
e predictive value of both EuroSCORE II and STS scoring
systems is roughly equivalent, and they have been cross- validated

against other large national databases. However, the statistic that
matters to patients is their potential individual mortality, which is
locally determined at institutional or possibly individual surgeon
level. e United Kingdom has a system for mandatory risk and
outcome reporting with publication of individual surgeon survival
rates, compared to the national average. However, when all surgeons
are within a 99.8% condence interval of the predicted mortality
rates, the utility of this measure in decision- making is not clear.
Enhanced recovery programmes
forcardiacsurgery
Fast- track recovery from cardiac surgery is well established and
includes a philosophy of withholding sedation in ICU, aiming for
extubation within 2 hours of the completion of surgery, rapid removal of chest drains, and transfer to the ward within 24 hours.
Enhanced recovery from cardiac surgery includes minimizing barriers to restoration of diet and mobility, and minimizing the duration of harmful interventions such as positive pressure ventilation,
vasoactive drug infusions, and invasive monitoring.
e enhanced recovery philosophy borrows heavily from the work
begun 20 years ago by Kehlet in reducing physiological stressors
in colorectal and cardiac surgery. e process includes minimization of fasting periods and uid restriction with carbohydrate
drinks, pre- emptive multimodal, systemic, non- opioid analgesia in
the preoperative waiting area, regular postoperative antiemetics,
rapid discontinuation of opioid infusions, and mobilization out of
bed by the rst morning postoperatively.
e key to the eective introduction of such a programme is patient preparation: changing expectations for recovery including
pain control, participation in physiotherapy, lifestyle change (e.g.
smoking cessation), and active mobilization.
Conclusion
e preoperative assessment of the patient for CABG surgery has
the potential to overwhelm care providers with the knowledge of
hundreds of interdependent risk factors, and conicting evidence
as to ecacy of interventions. However, as the scrutiny increases
on healthcare providers to demonstrate that they are providing the
safest possible care, and the ‘aggregation of marginal gains’ available, the preassessment clinic is an ideal place to set patients up for
success before they even arrive at the hospital on the day of surgery.
A schema for the operation of such a clinic is presented in Table 18.3.

Anaesthetic management of
on- and off- pump coronary artery
bypassgraing
Elvera L. Baron, Menachem M. Weiner, and David L. Reich
Introduction
While the overall number of patients presenting for coronary artery
bypass gra (CABG) surgery has declined over the past 20years,
primarily due to the growth of percutaneous coronary interventions, the complexity of the patients presenting for CABG as well
as the procedures themselves has increased. Patients who are not
eligible for percutaneous interventions typically have an increased
risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality and depend more
than ever on optimal anaesthetic management. Anaesthesiologists
are involved in all aspects of perioperative management for these
patients presenting for CABG surgery, including pharmacological
risk reduction and intraoperative anaesthetic management. While
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains a critical part of many
CABG surgeries, many are performed without CPB. Specic considerations need to be taken into account prior to institution of CPB
and subsequent successful weaning. O- pump CABG (OPCAB)
has a number of unique anaesthetic management considerations as
well. Perioperative and especially intraoperative transoesophageal
echocardiography (TOE) is oen utilized for surgical guidance, assessment of cardiac function, and evaluation of any iatrogenic complications. is chapter reviews monitoring modalities for CABG
surgery, induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia, important considerations involved in initiation and weaning from
CPB, as well as implications of quality metrics for CABG surgery.
Monitoring
It is recommended that standard American Society of Anesthesiologists monitors including pulse oximeter, non- invasive blood pressure, and a ve- lead electrocardiogram be placed upon arrival to the
operating room prior to administration of any medications for any
patient presenting for CABG surgery. It is well established that 90%
of cardiac ischaemic episodes can be detected by monitoring leads
V5 and II, while rhythm assessment is best assessed using lead II.
In most cases, a combination of both patient and surgical factors require placement of an arterial line prior to induction of anaesthesia. is allows for careful titration of anaesthetic induction
and vasoactive medications. Prior to placement, it is prudent to discuss the site of placement to facilitate surgical needs:whether radial
gra(s) is (are) planned, whether two arterial lines may be required,
and whether central or peripheral arterial cannulation for CPB is
planned. Most commonly, the radial artery is cannulated; however,
at some centres bilateral arterial cannulation is used, or a more central artery such as the brachial, axillary, or femoral artery is chosen to
ensure accurate pressure reading aer CPB, when peripheral vasoconstriction may make a radial arterial line temporarily unreliable.
Central venous cannulation, performed under ultrasound guidance, is performed routinely for CABG surgery and is used for both
central venous pressure measurements and for central delivery of
vasoactive medications. In patients with pulmonary hypertension
or those with severely reduced le ventricular (LV) function (LV
ejection fraction <30%), pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) placement may be indicated. Although PAC use has not been shown to
improve mortality outcomes, trends in the generated physiological
parameters may help guide medical treatment both intraoperatively
and postoperatively in the intensive care unit. Most recently, several
reports suggested lack of eectiveness of PAC use in cardiac surgery,
with some even reporting increased mortality and higher risk of severe end- organ complications. Additionally, cost– benet analysis
studies demonstrate increased costs associated with use of PACs
without any clear benet.
TOE is recommended by the American Society of Anesthesiologists
and the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists practice guidelines for CABG surgery, and is routinely used for both on- pump and
o- pump CABG surgery. Real- time assessment of cardiac function
pre- , intra- , and postoperatively has the potential to aect surgical

decisions. TOE can provide specic details on regional wall motion
abnormalities, any associated valvular lesions, burden of aortic atherosclerotic disease, detection of patent foramen ovale, and other
congenital anomalies. Intraoperatively, TOE can also be used to
help determine the optimal site of aortic cannulation, site of aortic
cross- clamping, and the ability to provide retrograde cardioplegia

prole of CABG surgery, as detection of associated iatrogenic complications, such as aortic dissection and malpositioned cannulae,
are quickly recognized and addressed. ough TOE placement is
not without risk (such as oesophageal perforation or bleeding), the
American Society of Echocardiography also recommends a comprehensive TOE examination pre and post CPB or pre and post
revascularization in patients undergoing CABG.
Neurophysiological monitoring during CABG with non- invasive
monitors, such as cerebral oximetry and bispectral index (BIS)
analysis, is oen used during CABG. Cerebral oximetry, a continuous monitoring device (which works during non- pulsatile
ow states), is based on the principle of transcranial transmission
of near- infrared light to estimate regional tissue oxygenation and
may help identify and correct regional cerebral ischaemia. BIS
monitoring is based on fast Fourier transformation and bispectral
analysis of one- channel electroencephalographic data obtained
from electrodes on the patient’s forehead, represents global cerebral electroencephalographic activity, and may provide benet in
decreasing intraoperative awareness or recall.– Additionally, BIS
could be useful in achieving burst suppression or isoelectric states
during cooling in situations where hypothermic circulatory arrest
is required.
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction is a recognized complication
aer cardiac surgery. Intraoperative cerebral microembolism and
hypoperfusion have been proposed to be the major mechanisms of
cognitive dysfunction. Neuroprotective strategies include reduction of plaque disruption and macroemboli via careful and appropriate aortic cannula placement, judicious temperature regulation
for cooling and rewarming, with special attention to avoid hyperthermic perfusion. While large database studies have reported reduced perioperative stroke with OPCAB versus CABG on CPB,
these results have not been replicated in randomized controlled
trials with smaller sample size enrolling lower- risk patients. Arecent meta- analysis of more than 37,000 patients found that avoidance of aortic manipulation altogether, by use of a no- aortic- touch
OPCAB technique, was associated with dramatic reduction in stroke
risk; however, this technique is technically challenging and has not
been widely adopted.
Glucose control is also considered a best practice for
neuroprotection, but likely within ranges specied in the NICE
SUGAR trial. Several studies examined intraoperative administration of magnesium or lidocaine on neurocognitive function aer
cardiac surgery., Administration of intraoperative magnesium
was not shown to confer protection against postoperative cognitive decline, while preliminary data suggest that lidocaine administration decreased the occurrence of early postoperative cognitive
Induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia for CABG
surgery can be safely achieved in several ways, as long as haemodynamic goals are met. Most standard induction agents, including
hypnotics, opioids, muscle relaxants, and volatile anaesthetics, have
been safely used for CABG surgery. e specic anaesthetic agent
choices are determined by LV function and coronary pathology,
with a focus on primary haemodynamic goals: maintaining adequate coronary perfusion pressure without increasing myocardial
oxygen demand. Avoidance of tachycardia and hypotension are particularly important to ensure adequate lling time and to decrease
the risk of intraoperative ischaemia. is is achieved by titration of
drugs, such as phenylephrine and/ or nitroglycerine, and avoidance
of excessive myocardial depression, especially in patients with severe ow- dependent coronary stenosis.
It is also prudent to anticipate and plan for fast- tracking and early
tracheal extubation in appropriately selected patients. is includes
use of shorter- acting medications during induction and maintenance, limited administration of muscle relaxants and opioids, as well
as adequate rewarming and postoperative analgesia. Although many
neuromuscular agents can be used for induction and maintenance,
agents must be administered such that uncomplicated CABG patients may be extubated within 6 hours aer arrival in the intensive
care unit.
Induction agents, such as etomidate, propofol, and ketamine, are
all acceptable. For patients with severe LV dysfunction, etomidate
or ketamine are preferred, although the catecholamine depletion
in severe congestive heart failure may predispose towards more
hypotension with ketamine, since the catecholamine- releasing effect of ketamine is diminished. Maintenance of anaesthesia with
volatile anaesthetics, total intravenous techniques, and balanced
techniques should all be managed to optimize haemodynamics
so as to avoid intraoperative myocardial ischaemia. Additionally,
midazolam is used extensively. As noted previously, the choice
and dosing of neuromuscular blocking agents is targeted to facilitate early extubation, such that intermediate- acting agents, such as
rocuronium, vecuronium, and cisatracurium, are preferred.
Inhalational anaesthetics are also thought to protect the myocardium against ischaemia by their ability to elicit protective cellular
responses similar to what is seen with ischaemic preconditioning.
Successful preconditioning has been shown to reduce myocardial
infarction size aer periods of ischaemia, reduce post- ischaemic
LV dysfunction, and reduce the incidence of arrhythmias.
Additionally, opioids have also been shown to trigger benecial eects of preconditioning. e literature on rates of mortality and myocardial infarction in those patients who received
preconditioning has shown mixed results.

Since both myocardial ischaemia time and reperfusion are known
to contribute to myocardial damage, the role of postconditioning
is now becoming an area of investigation. ere is preliminary evidence that postconditioning improves contractile function and decreases the incidence of post- ischaemic arrhythmias., e choice
of anaesthetics may have an impact on postconditioning. For example, volatile agents are thought to have a blunting eect on the
harmful eects of post- ischaemic reperfusion injury aer CABG,
supporting their use in these surgeries.

Although the incidence of perioperative myocardial ischaemia
for patients undergoing CABG has been reported to be 10– 50%,
no dierence in the relative risk of postoperative myocardial ischaemia has been attributed to choice of anaesthetic medications.
Anaesthesiologists must, however, be able to promptly recognize
and treat intraoperative myocardial ischaemia. In addition to electrocardiogram changes, tachycardia with hypotension, increased LV
lling pressures, or development of new regional wall motion abnormalities point to early signs of ischaemia. TOE is the most sensitive
method of detecting myocardial ischaemia in patients undergoing
CABG. Furthermore, new onset of mitral regurgitation or
worsening of pre- existing mitral regurgitation, either of which can
occur in association with developing myocardial ischaemia or surgical manipulation of the heart, is easily detected and characterized
by TOE monitoring. Early detection and mitigation of worsening
or new- onset ischaemic mitral regurgitation may be especially important during OPCAB; in this setting, TOE is especially valuable.
Intraoperative management of a patient with coronary artery disease relies on tight haemodynamic control and prompt correction of
any haemodynamic abnormalities. e main goal is to maintain coronary perfusion pressure— both by maintaining adequate diastolic
pressure and normalized heart rate. Useful agents for treatment of
acute perioperative or intraoperative myocardial ischaemia include
intravenous beta blockers (e.g. esmolol, metoprolol), nitrates (e.g.
nitroglycerine), calcium channel blockers (e.g. nicardipine, nifedipine, clevidipine), or increased delivery of volatile anaesthetics
for those patients presenting with hypertension and/ or increased
heart rate. For those patients presenting with hypotension with or
without heart rate changes, useful agents may include intravenous
phenylephrine, norepinephrine, ephedrine, atropine, or lightened
inhalational anaesthesia. e overall goal is to optimize myocardial
oxygen supply and demand by decreasing determinants of myocardial oxygen consumption and maintaining coronary perfusion
pressure.
Specific anaesthetic considerations togo
oncardiopulmonarybypass
Prior to initiation of CPB, adequate preparation is essential.
Anticoagulation is normally achieved using heparin, with measurement of in vitro heparin level and activated coagulation time prior to
cannulation. Also, prior to cannulation, epiaortic scanning should
would be appropriate and safe for arterial cannulation and aortic
cross- clamping. ese locations are ideally distant from signicant atherosclerotic plaques to decrease the incidence of thromboembolic events. Depending upon the specic surgical approach,
either one ‘two- stage’ cannula is inserted through the right atrium
extending into the inferior vena cava, or two separate venous cannulae are placed in the superior and inferior vena cavae. TOE guidance is utilized in ensuring proper positioning of the inferior vena
cava cannula, so as to avoid malposition of the cannula tip in the
hepatic venous circulation. e proper placement of these cannulae
ensures adequate drainage of the venous blood into the CPB circuit
once CPB is instituted. Additionally, internal jugular venous pressure and the patient’s head and neck are checked for any evidence
of obstruction to superior vena cava drainage. TOE is also used to
survey for any evidence of iatrogenic injuries to the great vessels,
such as aortic dissection. It is also recommended that the anaesthesiologist reassess the patient’s anaesthetic depth, administering opioids, muscle relaxants, or benzodiazepines, as necessary.
Once CPB is instituted, delivery of volatile anaesthetic agents
can continue through a vaporizer attached to the CPB circuit. e
anaesthesiologist also plays a role in myocardial protection during
CPB, ensuring that there is electrical silence on the electrocardiogram, assuring that LV distension does not occur during antegrade
cardioplegia, and monitoring myocardial temperature if a probe
is placed by the surgeons. Additionally, the TOE can ensure that
retrograde cardioplegia cannulae, if present, are placed correctly.
Achecklist for safe initiation of CPB is shown in Box 19.1.
Specific anaesthetic considerations for
separation fromcardiopulmonarybypass
Planning for separation from CPB begins as early as preoperative
assessment and anaesthetic induction. During CPB, specic preparations are made for successful weaning. Weaning from CPB is generally considered only aer the patient’s core temperature is rewarmed
to at least 35°C, electrolyte abnormalities are corrected, a stable cardiac rhythm is present (with or without assistance of a pacemaker),
and ventilation is reinstituted. Furthermore, cardiac function is
generally assessed by TOE while still on CPB aer the coronary
anastomoses have been completed. Specically, ventricular function and, in cases of concomitant valve surgery, the integrity of the
surgical repair or replacement are assessed. Inotropic, vasopressor,

• Gradual weaning from CPB

reservoir via arterial cannula into the patient; remainder of pump circuit blood may be haemoconcentrated or processed by a cell salvaging device.
More specically, cardiovascular eects could be due to distortion of cardiac chambers by the surgical equipment or ischaemia
induced by vessel occlusion during the anastomoses. Signicant
reductions in most haemodynamic parameters (cardiac output,
stroke volume, mean arterial pressures, heart rate, and coronary
ow) may be seen during surgical manipulation. Additionally, altered right ventricular and LV geometry and chamber sizes that
are seen on TOE during vertical retraction of the heart will aect
haemodynamic stability.
Anaesthetic techniques for OPCAB are similar to those used in
on- pump procedures, including extensive monitoring and use of
intraoperative TOE and warming devices. Although interest has
steadily risen in thoracic epidural anaesthesia and analgesia for cardiac surgery, this practice is limited (especially in the United States)
due to safety concerns related to neuraxial access in anticoagulated
patients, many of whom also receive antiplatelet agents. Some
OPCAB patients are eligible for fast- tracking and early extubation,
again requiring advanced planning with limited intraoperative use
of opioids and muscle relaxants. Haemodynamic uctuations due
to heart positioning are managed with uids, positional changes,
and vasopressor medications, as needed. CPB is always readily
available for emergencies related to haemodynamic decompensation. Instability due to new or ongoing myocardial ischaemia can
also be managed with judicious use of vasodilators and inotropes.
and/ or vasodilator medications are used to optimize preload, contractility, and aerload. As a general rule, patients with worse myocardial function preoperatively will require more gradual weaning
from CPB so as to avoid major haemodynamic instability and to
allow careful titration of medications and/ or surgical intervention.
Myocardial stunning, which is common immediately following
Haemodynamic goals are dierent at dierent points in the surgical intervention: lower mean arterial pressures (approximately
60 mmHg) are preferred during proximal (aortic) anastomoses,
while higher mean arterial pressures (approximately 80mmHg) are
preferred during distal ones. erefore, eective ongoing communication between anaesthesiologists and surgeons is crucial.

of right ventricular function is critical. Careful titration of vasodilators, such as nitroglycerine, may be needed in patients with elevated

pump, which increases coronary blood ow during diastole and unloads the le ventricle during systole, may be needed to aid in successful weaning from CPB. Achecklist for safe weaning from CPB is
shown in Box 19.2.

is perhaps the most common means by which United States programmes are assessed by individual departments of health. Typically,

individual states will publish the raw and risk- adjusted results for
mortality for cardiac surgical programmes in their jurisdiction. e

e o- pump approach to CABG (OPCAB) is preferred by some
surgeons. Recent meta- analysis of clinical outcomes, comparing
conventional on- pump versus o- pump approaches, demonstrated
that both are safe and comparable in terms of early mortality and late
survival. OPCAB surgery is thought to confer an advantage over
the conventional approach in preventing perioperative myocardial infarction and reducing overall blood loss. Unique anaesthetic
considerations are present for OPCAB due to frequent potential
for haemodynamic lability. ese haemodynamic changes may be
induced not only due to patient factors, such as the severity of coronary artery disease and its eect on the myocardium, but also due

and retraction of the heart to aid in adequate surgical exposure.
among cardiothoracic surgeons. e large size, and robust statistical
modelling, is helpful to CABG programmes in assessing their performance against national benchmarks, which may help to put other
results into perspective.
Among the most robust set of standards has been established by
the National Quality Forum. Ameasure that anaesthesiologists are
particularly able to inuence by anaesthetic techniques is prolonged
postoperative intubation. Prolonged intubation is dened as the
percentage of patients aged 18years and older undergoing isolated
CABG who require intubation for more than 24 hours. e full set of
voluntary consensus metrics is presented in Box 19.3.

or punish hospital- based programmes for quality metrics. In the
United States, commercial insurance payers also mirror portions
of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services programme.
Currently, value- based purchasing includes hospital- acquired infections, specically supercial and deep sternal wound infections,
catheter- associated urinary tract infections, central line- associated
bloodstream infections, and patient satisfaction metrics. As of 2017,
failure to achieve these quality metrics could result in a penalty as high
as 2% of total Medicare payments to a hospital. Again, anaesthesiologists have signicant potential to inuence these results based upon
care provided intraoperatively and in the intensive care unit.
Conclusion
Anaesthesia for CABG has evolved over the decades along with the
increased role of the anaesthesiologist in perioperative care. e current trends towards transparency in reporting outcomes and in valuebased purchasing nancial incentives are changing the landscape of
cardiac surgical programmes. Cardiac anaesthesiologists have a key
role to play in developing protocols and quality programmes to assure
the success of their institutional CABG programmes.

Postoperative management aer
coronary artery bypass grasurgery

Introduction
Patients presenting for coronary artery bypass gra (CABG) surgery are increasingly older and sicker, while the usage of newer surgical techniques (o- pump CABG, minimally invasive CABG, and
robotic- assisted CABG), coupled with alterations in anaesthetic approach (fast- track recovery), have added to the complexity and variability in the postoperative management of CABG patients.
Fast- track cardiacsurgery
Most cardiac surgical centres have adopted a fast- track recovery
protocol aimed at minimizing length of stay and resource utilization. Incorporation of a standardized handover procedure in
the cardiac recovery unit minimizes miscommunication and enhances patient safety by providing a continuum of anaesthetic and
surgical care.
Fast- track recovery for cardiac surgery was rst introduced in
mid- 1990, and has been widely implemented in most cardiac surgical centres, mainly driven by strong economic incentives for
shortening mechanical ventilation times, lengths of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), and resource utilization. A2016 Cochrane
review involving 4438 patients in 28 trials concluded fast- track
could signicantly reduce extubation times and ICU stay without
increasing mortality and major perioperative complications in low-
and moderate- risk cardiac surgical patients. e targets of fast track
are extubation within 3– 6 hours and discharge from the ICU within
18– 24 hours.
e key components of fast track include use of low- dose, shortacting, opioid- based anaesthesia and sedatives perioperatively, and
a time- directed protocol for early extubation and discharge from
the ICU. Initially, high- dose opioid- based anaesthesia (e.g. morphine) was used for cardiac surgery because of its minimal myocardial depressive eect, but at the expense of prolonged mechanical
ventilation. e introduction of newer opioids such as remifentanil
and sufentanil, having much shorter elimination half- lives, reduces the risks of over- narcotization but may require supplementary analgesia postoperatively. e substitution of a short- acting
propofol infusion, in lieu of longer- acting benzodiazepines in the
rst few postoperative hours, is a further key component. Usage of
dexmedetomidine- based sedation has now been reported to further
shorten extubation time yet with higher patient satisfaction compared with propofol in postcardiac surgical patients.
Adherence to a time- based extubation protocol, evaluated and
modied in haemodynamically unstable or bleeding patients,
along with adequate physician and nurse- to- patient ratios, are further keys for successful implementation. Increased age, female sex,
and atrial arrhythmias are risk factors for failed fast- track protocol.
Aggressive management of bleeding, active rewarming to ensure
normothermia, as well as prompt diuresis and maintenance of
normoglycemia and uid and electrolyte balance are further important guidelines which have the added benet of improving
overall quality of care in postcardiac surgical patients.
Adequacy ofperfusion
A degree of haemodynamic instability is found in almost all
postcardiac surgical patients. is is oen a result of transient
myocardial dysfunction (stunning or hibernation) with associated reductions in ventricular compliance (diastolic dysfunction),
and is frequently accompanied by varying degrees of intravascular
depletion.
e ultimate goal of postoperative haemodynamic management
is to maintain adequate distal organ perfusion to meet metabolic
demand. erefore, apart from optimizing cardiac output (preload, aerload, contractility, and heart rate) and perfusion pressure,
maintenance of normothermia and correction of anaemia and optimization of gas exchange are additional factors to consider.
Systemic blood pressure alone is a poor indicator of end- organ
perfusion. Cardiac output coupled with mixed venous oxygen saturation is the most direct index of global metabolic supply/ demand
ratio; however, it is less commonly monitored in post- CABG patients
because of a decline in usage of pulmonary artery catheters (PACs).
e role of pulse contour devices to determine pulse pressure and
stroke volume variation- derived parameters based on percentage alteration of phasic arterial pressure during positive- pressure ventilation has demonstrated utility in assessment of uid responsiveness
and when associated with protocol- driven goal- directed therapy,
