Stunned Myocardium as a Sequela of Acute Severe Anemia: An Adult Simulation Case for Anesthesiology Residents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Anesthesiologists develop anesthetic plans according to the surgical procedure, patient's medical history, and physical exams. Patients with ischemic heart disease are predisposed to intraoperative cardiac complications from surgical blood loss. Unanticipated events can lead to intraoperative complications despite careful anesthesia planning.

Methods

This anesthetic management simulation was developed for the anesthesiology residency curriculum during the first clinical anesthesia year (CA 1/PGY 2 residents). A total of 23 CA 1 residents participated. A 50-minute encounter focused on a 73-year-old male who presents for an elective total hip replacement and develops acute myocardial stunning in the setting of critical acute blood loss and a delay in the transport
