Abstract:
As the complexity and duration of cardiac ablation procedures increase, there is a growing demand for anesthesiologist involvement in the electrophysiology suites for sedation and anesthesia provision, hemodynamic and neuromonitoring, and procedural guidance through transesophageal echocardiography. To deliver high-quality perioperative care, it is important that the anesthesiologist is intimately familiar with the evolving techniques and technologies, the anesthetic options and ventilation strategies, and the anticipated postprocedural complications.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart...
