What are the optimal anesthesia care requirements for CABG patients?
Optimal anesthesia care in CABG patients should include 1) a careful preoperative evaluation and treatment of modifiable risk factors; 2) proper handling of all medications given of central venous access and careful cardiovascular monitoring; 4) induction of a state of unconsciousness, analgesia, and immobility; and 5) a smooth transition to the early postoperative period, with a goal of early extubation, patient mobilization, and hospital discharge.
