Year in Review 2023: Noteworthy Literature in Cardiac Anesthesiology

Jacob Plaisted et al. Semin Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2024 Jun.

Abstract

Notable clinical research published in 2023 related to cardiac anesthesia included studies focused on resuscitation and pharmacology, regional anesthesia, technological advances, and novel gene therapies. We reviewed 241 articles to identify 25 noteworthy studies that represent the most significant research related to cardiac anesthesia from the past year. Overall, improvements in clinical practice have enabled decreased morbidity and mortality with a renewed focus on mechanical circulatory support and transplantation.

Keywords: cardiac anesthesia; critical care; patient outcomes; resuscitation; xenotransplantation.
