    Abstract Alpha Gal Syndrome (AGS) is an emerging immune response to mammalian products (MP) containing the oligosaccharide galactose-α-1,3 galactose (α-Gal) which includes meats and inactive ingredients in certain medications. This becomes clinically important in the perioperative realm as MPs are commonly found in the operating room, and pre- and post-operative settings, and can trigger responses as severe as anaphylaxis. In this review, authors discuss the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of AGS reactions. Additionally, strategies are explored in order to screen and prevent exposure to MP with a multidisciplinary approach. While this emerging allergy is still not fully understood, it is of paramount importance that all anesthesia providers recognize the implications of MP exposure in AGS patients and ultimately prevent harm in this highly vulnerable population.

    Abstract Minutes count in the operating room when it comes to treatment guidance and therapies. On a daily basis, anesthesiologists make hundreds of decisions, some based on laboratory results, when guiding patient therapies. When time is crucial, point-of-care testing is often utilized for expediency. However, point-of-care testing has its limitations. Providers should be aware of the limitations, including the potential for error in results-errors that could lead to improper treatment and possible patient harm. This article outlines the technical aspects and summarizes pitfalls in accuracy for 2 of the most commonly utilized point-of-care testing devices: glucose meters and hemoglobin meters.

    Abstract The electrophysiology laboratory facilitates complex procedures on patients, many of whom have advanced disease processes and extensive comorbidities. Historically, nurses administered sedation as required, but in recent years a shift to anesthesiologist-led sedation has been promoted for patient safety and advanced therapeutic considerations. Uncertainty remains, however, regarding whether the electrophysiology laboratory is best staffed with general or cardiothoracic anesthesiologists. In this article, the authors discuss the anesthetic considerations of some commonly performed electrophysiology and structural cardiac procedures and the pros and cons of staffing with general or cardiothoracic anesthesiologists.

    Abstract Noonan syndrome is a relatively common genetic disorder and the second most common cause of congenital heart disease after trisomy 21. The spectrum of cardiac anomalies in Noonan syndrome typically involves pulmonary valve stenosis occasionally in conjunction with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Mitral valve involvement is a rare finding in Noonan syndrome and is most commonly associated with either mitral valve prolapse or abnormal valvular insertion causing left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Patients with Noonan syndrome typically have preserved fertility and, given the success of cardiac surgery and medical management of heart failure in this population, are beginning to present more commonly as parturients in adulthood. Maternal physiologic changes during pregnancy introduce an added complexity to hemodynamic management and anesthetic considerations during labor and delivery. In this article, we present a case of a patient with Noonan syndrome with severe mitral stenosis, pulmonary valve insufficiency, and severe restrictive and obstructive pulmonary disease who presented preterm for delivery due to increased dyspnea at rest. Here we review the pathophysiology behind Noonan syndrome and peripartum management strategies in a patient with severe combined cardiac and pulmonary disease.

    Abstract Pulmonary venous thrombosis (PVT) is a rare but potentially devastating disease state with a largely unknown incidence. The most common etiologies of PVT are secondary to complications of lung surgery, malignancy, catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, and idiopathic causes. Diagnosis can be challenging because presenting symptoms often are vague and nonspecific, or even asymptomatic, and traditional diagnostic modalities, such as chest radiography and arterial phase computed tomography scans, are poor techniques for diagnosis. The authors present a case of a patient presenting for pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for a presumed diagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension who was found incidentally to have a PVT, on intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. Due to significant thrombus burden, the new finding of PVT, and known association of PVT and malignancy, a biopsy of mediastinal lymph nodes was obtained, which revealed metastatic cervical carcinoma. The pulmonary endarterectomy procedure was aborted.

    Abstract Objectives: Combined heart-liver transplantation (CHLT) is becoming increasingly frequent as a maturing population of patients with Fontan-palliated congenital heart disease develop advanced liver fibrosis or cirrhosis. The authors present their experience with CHLT for congenital and noncongenital indications, and identify characteristics associated with poor outcomes that may guide intervention in high-risk patients.
    Design: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study.
    Setting: This study was conducted at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
    Participants: The study included 16 consecutive adult recipients of CHLT at the authors' institution between April 2017 and February 2022.
    Interventions: Eleven patients underwent transplantation for Fontan indications, and 5 were transplanted for non-Fontan indications.
    Measurements and main results: Compared with non-Fontan patients, Fontan recipients had longer cardiopulmonary bypass duration (199 v 119 minutes, p =m0.002), operative times (786 v 599 minutes, p = 0.01), and larger blood product transfusions (15.4 v 6.3 L, p = 0.18). Six of 16 patients required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), of whom 4 were Fontan patients who subsequently died. Patients who required ECMO had lower 5-hour lactate clearance (0.0 v 3.5 mmol/L, p = 0.001), higher number of vasoactive infusions, lower pulmonary artery pulsatility indices (0.58 v 1.77, p = 0.03), and higher peak inspiratory pressures (28.0 v 18.5 mmHg, p = 0.01) after liver reperfusion.
    Conclusions: Combined heart-liver transplantation in patients with Fontan-associated end-organ disease is particularly challenging and associated with higher recipient morbidity compared with non-Fontan-related CHLT. Early hemodynamic intervention for signs of ventricular dysfunction may improve outcomes in this growing high-risk population.
