Summary:

Regional anesthetic procedures are being utilized with increasing frequency by anesthesiologists managing patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. This Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists Monograph presents the potential benefits (intense postoperative analgesia, stress response attenuation, and thoracic cardiac sympathectomy) and potential risks (most notably hematoma formation) of utilizing regional anesthetic techniques in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery.
