Summary

Ten years ago, the results of prospective non-randomized study investigating perioperative management and clinical outcome of awake cardiac surgery patients undergoing procedure in sole epidural anaesthesia were published in European Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Journal of Anaesthesia. This review article provides a critical assessment of the results of this work and further developments in this area, seen from a distance of one decade

Keywords:

cardiac surgery – Cardiopulmonary bypass – thoracic epidural anaesthesia – postoperative outcome
