Abstract
So much has been written about techniques for the anaesthetic management of patients undergoing open-heart surgery, that the principles of proper anaesthetic use are often forgotten. In the anaesthetic management of the cardiac surgical patient it is extremely important to know the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular lesion and the functional condition of the myocardium [17]. The broad range of anaesthetic drugs tolerated by the diseased heart makes the choice of anaesthetic far less important to the patient than the care with which it is administered.
