The operating room in a cardiothoracic surgical case is a complex environment, with multiple handoffs often required by staffing changes, and can be variable from program to program. This study was done to characterize what types of practitioners provide anesthesia during cardiac operations to determine the variability in this aspect of care. A survey was sent out via a list serve of members of the cardiac surgical team. Responses from 40 programs from a variety of countries showed variability across every dimension requested of the cardiac anesthesia team. Given that anesthesia is proven to have an influence on the outcome of cardiac procedures, this study indicates the opportunity to further study how this variability influences outcomes and to identify best practices.

An 80-year-old man with idiopathic cold agglutinin disease presented with acute cholecystitis. We describe operating room and anaesthetic considerations for patients with cold agglutinin disease and measures that can be taken to prevent disease exacerbation in this case report. Multidisciplinary collaboration and planning between the operative room staff, anaesthesia team and surgical team are needed to ensure safe surgery and optimal patient outcomes.
