Question: What's the worst that can happen? Answer:
A little ST elevation before anastomosis. Unable to wean off the bypass on the first try. Starting multiple drips (epi, neo, milrinone), placing an intraop balloon pump and arriving to ICU on about eight infusions. All in a day's work. Was it the smoothest surgery/anesthesia for a CABG? Probably not. Was it everything that I had hoped for/was afraid of? You betcha. Was it awesome? Totally. And I probably missed half the stuff that was going on. Next time, I don't care what my attending says about making things simple, I'm going to be more prepared so I won't be caught off guard. Maybe not right now, but I think I could do this one day!
