Book Description
This manual is meant to guide the new and returning resident through the steps
of a standard pump case for cardiac surgery. After the basic steps of a bypass case are learned,
it is important to understand the details of why the anesthesia team, the surgery team, and the
perfusionist are doing what they are doing, and why this is one of the most interactive
specialties in anesthetic practice. Part I describes what the resident does prior to and during the
case and includes relevant details of the surgical procedure. Because it is one of the more
common cardiac surgical procedures, we will describe the steps for a typical coronary artery
bypass grafting surgery (or CABG for short). Keep in mind, however, that there are many
different types of cardiac surgical procedures and each have their own nuances and intricacies
that may differ slightly from what is described here. Part II discusses cardiopulmonary bypass itself.
