Postoperative ICU management of vascular surgery patients. Anesthesiology clinics Crimi, E., Hill, C. C. 2014; 32 (3): 735-757

Abstract

Critical care management of vascular surgical patients poses significant challenges owing to patients' comorbidities and the magnitude of the surgical procedures. The primary goals of the anesthesiologist and intensivist are reestablishing preoperative homeostasis, optimizing hemodynamics until return of normal organ function, and managing postoperative complications promptly and effectively. Postoperative critical care management demands a detailed knowledge of the various vascular surgical procedures and the potential postoperative complications. In this review, the authors describe the postoperative complications related to the major specific vascular surgical procedures and their perioperative management.
