AHA Scientific Statement | Anesthetic care of the pregnant patient with cardiovascular disease
20 Feb, 2023 | 12:29h | UTCSummary: The AHA emphasizes the need for specialized cardio-obstetric anesthesiology care for pregnant patients with cardiovascular disease, involving a multidisciplinary team of obstetricians, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and other specialists as needed. The approach includes preoperative evaluation, intraoperative management, and postoperative care to maintain maternal hemodynamic stability, optimize oxygen delivery to the fetus, and avoid factors that exacerbate cardiovascular disease. Vaginal delivery with effective neuraxial analgesia is the preferred mode of delivery, with cesarean delivery used for obstetrical indications or high-risk patients. Specific recommendations are also provided for the management of patients with different types of cardiovascular disease, including congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

M-A | General Anesthesia vs. to Non-GA in endovascular thrombectomy for ischemic stroke
20 Feb, 2023 | 12:20h | UTCSummary: The study analyzed randomized controlled trials comparing the use of general anesthesia (GA) versus non-GA techniques, such as conscious sedation or local anesthesia for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with ischemic stroke. The meta-analysis included seven trials with a total of 980 participants, showing that GA is associated with a 9% improvement in recanalization rates and an 8.4% improvement in functional recovery compared to non-GA techniques. There was no difference in hemorrhagic complications or 3-month mortality. The study recommends that GA be the first choice for most EVT procedures in acute ischemic stroke.
