Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW
This review highlights the integration of enhanced recovery principles with temporary mechanical circulatory support associated with adult cardiac surgery.
RECENT FINDINGS
Enhanced recovery elements and efforts have been associated with improvements in quality and value. Temporary mechanical circulatory support technologies have been successfully employed, improved, and the value of their proactive use to maintain hemodynamic goals and preserve long-term myocardial function is accruing.
SUMMARY
Temporary mechanical circulatory support devices promise to enhance recovery by mitigating the risk of complications, such as postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock, organ dysfunction, and death, associated with adult cardiac surgery.
