This review summarizes anesthetic considerations for aortic arch surgery, including temperature management, perfusion strategies, hemodynamic goals, adjunct agents, and neuromonitoring.
This review summarizes anesthetic considerations and evidence-based outcomes for temperature management, perfusion strategies, and neuromonitoring during aortic arch surgery.
Provides updated summary of neuroprotection strategies in aortic arch surgery; leaves open optimal protocols pending prospective validation.
Aortic arch surgery has become increasingly complex, and novel surgical approaches have been utilized. Efforts aimed at improving neurological outcomes in this patient population have been numerous, with varying degrees of success. This article summarizes the anesthetic considerations for procedures on the aortic arch, including evidence-based outcomes with respect to temperature management, perfusion strategies, hemodynamic goals, adjunct agents, and neuromonitoring.

Reed et al. (2014) conducted a review in Aortic arch surgery. Anesthetic considerations (temperature management, perfusion strategies, hemodynamic goals, adjunct agents, neuromonitoring) was evaluated. This review summarizes anesthetic considerations for aortic arch surgery, including temperature management, perfusion strategies, hemodynamic goals, adjunct agents, and neuromonitoring.
