Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery is associated with a high risk of postoperative neurological complications. Perioperative use of vasopressors is common to counteract arterial hypotension in this setting. However, use of α-agonist vasopressors has been associated with cerebral desaturations.

Background: Maintenance of stable blood pressure (BP) during cerebrovascular bypass surgery is crucial to prevent cerebral ischemia. We compared the effect of remimazolam anesthesia with that of propofol-induced and desflurane-maintained anesthesia on intraoperative hemodynamic stability and the need for vasoactive agents in patients undergoing cerebrovascular bypass surgery.

Methods: Sixty-five patients were randomized into remimazolam (n = 31, remimazolam-based intravenous anesthesia) and control groups (n = 34, propofol-induced and desflurane-maintained anesthesia).

Coingestion of cardiovascular drugs with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) can be associated with refractory shock derangements complicated by vasopressor resistance, prompting the use of novel, unconventional, or uncommonly used agents. A young adult male presented to the emergency department (ED) 10 h after ingesting lisinopril and amlodipine. On arrival, he was hypotensive with a blood pressure of 72/39 mmHg.

Article Synopsis
  • Vasopressors like ephedrine, noradrenaline, and phenylephrine are used to manage hypotension during Caesarean sections in high-risk pregnant women receiving neuraxial anesthesia, but the best option is still being researched.
  • In a study analyzing 13 trials with 1,262 patients, it was found that while no significant differences were noted in hypotension episodes among the vasopressors, phenylephrine was ranked as the most effective in preventing hypotension.
  • Additionally, those on phenylephrine experienced higher rates of bradycardia, but lower instances of nausea and vomiting compared to those on ephedrine, with no major differences in fetal outcomes between noradrenaline and phenylephrine.
