Coronary Anastomosis

Our group has previously described how dedicated practice outside the operating room can improve surgical technique and enhance intraoperative performance. We have also recently developed a "do-it-yourself" simulator made from inexpensive, easily obtainable materials to practice a variety of operative scenarios in cardiac surgery. This video tutorial demonstrates our Coronary Anastomosis Module, which is designed for practice of both distal and proximal coronary anastomoses.

Surgery Simulator

Simulation and dedicated practice outside the operating room can improve surgical technique and enhance intraoperative learning and performance. We designed a "do-it-yourself" simulator for use at home made from inexpensive, readily accessible materials that faithfully recreates multiple operative scenarios in cardiac surgery. This video tutorial demonstrates how to build our modular cardiac surgery simulator and to practice drills using our Basic Surgical Skills Module, which helps hone basic linear suturing, needle angles, and knot tying.

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.
