Abstract

Cardiac surgery is a complex and delicate procedure that requires careful planning and execution to ensure favourable patient outcomes. One of the most critical aspects of cardiac surgery is myocardial protection, which aims to minimise damage to the heart muscle during the operation. In this comprehensive review, we will examine the various myocardial protection strategies used during cardiac surgery, their benefits and risks. We will also examine the use of cardioplegia, a technique involving the temporary suspension of cardiac function, to protect the myocardium. We will also discuss measures that can be taken to reduce ischaemia-reperfusion injury and its impact on the heart. Finally, we will examine postoperative management strategies to protect the myocardium and shorten the recovery time of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. By providing a detailed overview of these topics, this review aims to inform and assist healthcare professionals in making informed decisions about myocardial protection strategies during cardiac surgery.
