In this chapter the essential aspects of anesthesia for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery are discussed. Subtopics include monitoring, heparin dose, diagnosis of prolonged activated clotting time, cardiopulmonary bypass machine, and protamine administration. The chapter is divided into preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative sections with important subtopics related to the main topic in each section. Preoperative topics include the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia and complications due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes. Issues discussed related to intraoperative management include monitoring, induction, bypass considerations, and coagulation.
