Cardiovascular Consequences and Considerations of Coronavirus Infection – Perspectives for the Cardiothoracic Anesthesiologist and Intensivist During the Coronavirus Crisis

THE CURRENT pandemic owing to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated in about 10% to 15% of cases with severe clinical presentations that require admission to hospital. In the cohort of patients with severe COVID-19, the risks of admission to an intensive care unit are high owing to critical conditions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, cardiovascular collapse, and acute renal failure. The unique considerations of this important infection significantly affect the management approaches to these patients by cardiothoracic anesthesiologists and intensivists with respect to airway management, echocardiography, anesthetic care, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
