European Association of Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia Fellowship Curriculum: First Edition.
International audience; Pediatric cardiac anesthesia is a subspecialty of cardiac and pediatric anesthesiology dedicated to the perioperative care of patients with congenital heart disease. Members of the Congenital and Education Subcommittees of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (EACTAIC) agreed on the necessity to develop an EACTAIC pediatric cardiac anesthesia fellowship curriculum. This manuscript represents a consensus on the composition and the design of the EACTAIC Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia Fellowship program. This curriculum provides a basis for the training of future pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists by clearly defining the theoretic…
Anesthetics and Cerebral Protection in Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy
EREBRAL ISCHEMIA/HYPOXIA may occur in a vari-ety of perioperative circumstances. The main pathophy-siologic aspects involved in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion arecaused by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consumption, theexcitotoxic actions of glutamate, changes in ionic homeostasis,and formation of free radicals (Fig 1). Outcomes from suchevents range from subclinical neurocognitive deficits to cata-strophic neurologic morbidity or death.
