Cardiac Advanced Life Support (CALS) was first proposed in 2005 to address these intricacies. The hallmark of CALS is early chest reopening and internal cardiac massage within 5 minutes of the cardiac arrest in patients unresponsive to basic life support. Since the introduction of CALS, the landscape of cardiac surgery has continued to evolve. Cardiac intensivists encounter more patients who undergo cardiac surgical procedures performed via minimally invasive techniques such as lateral thoracotomy or mini sternotomy, in which an initial bedside sternotomy for cardiac massage is not applicable. Given the heterogeneous nature of the patient population in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit, personnel must expeditiously identify the most appropriate rescue strategy. As such, we have proposed a modified CALS approach to (1) adapt to a newer generation of cardiac surgery patients and (2) incorporate advanced resuscitative techniques. These include rescue-focused cardiac ultrasound to aid in the early identification of underlying pathology and guide resuscitation and early institution of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation instead of chest reopening. While these therapies are not immediately available in all cardiac surgery centers, we hope this creates a framework to revise guidelines to include these recommendations to improve outcomes and how cardiac anesthesiologist intensivists' evolving role can aid resuscitation.</p>","PeriodicalId":15176,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142466273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
