Impact of high thoracic epidural anesthesia on incidence of perioperative atrial fibrillation in off-pump coronary bypass grafting: A prospective randomized study

Abstract: In our study cohort, high thoracic epidural anesthesia in combination with general anesthesia reduced significantly the incidence of perioperative arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, we observed a significant reduction of epinephrine serum levels in this patient group. The results of this study support a combination of general anesthesia with thoracic epidural anesthesia as a multidisciplinary approach, which may lead to a better patient outcome, improvement of early analgesia, and reduction … Show more

“…Significant difference was found in PaO2 and PaCO2 half an hour after extubation, 1st Post-operative day and 2nd Postoperative day. These findings were closely resembles the findings of Bakhtiary et al and Tenling et al 7,10 Post operative hospital stay in days in both groups of patients was observed. There was statistically significant differences in respect to hospital stay in days between groups.…”

“…Furthermore improved post-operative pulmonary function, additionally post-operative pain management is facilitated by continuous epidural application of analgesia; such effective pain management improves early post-operative mobilization & recovery. 7 The epidural analgesia is an important adjunct to immediate extubation because the intraoperative anesthesia requirements are less and analgesia optimized. The potential benefits of early extubation include cost savings, lowered nursing dependency, reduced airway and lung trauma, improved cardiac output and renal perfusion with spontaneous respiration.…”

“…Other studies also support this result. 7,10 There were 18 patients (60%) who had history of smoking, 12 patients were hypertensive, 6 patients are diabetes, three had family history of IHD and three patients had Dyslipidaemia and 8 patients had history of old MI in group-A whereas in group-B only 15 patients (50%) were smoker, 12 patients (33.33%) were hypertensive, 9 patients (30%) were diabetic, 3 patients (10%) were dyslipidaemic, 6 patients (20%) had family history and 7 patients were Old MI. The mean value of total ICU stays in hours in Group-A was 43.4±3.0 and in Group-B was 52.9±5.0 hours.…”
