"Cardiac Output & Its Determinants – The Key to Hemodynamic Stability"

In this episode of Optimal Anesthesia Insights, we dive deep into cardiac output (CO)—the cornerstone of effective circulation—and its key determinants: heart rate, stroke volume, preload, afterload, and contractility. Understanding these physiological factors is crucial for anesthesiologists in optimizing perfusion, maintaining hemodynamic stability, and preventing intraoperative complications.

Using engaging analogies and real-world clinical applications, we break down complex concepts like Frank-Starling’s mechanism, Poiseuille’s law, the Bowditch effect, and the impact of anesthesia on cardiac function. Whether you’re a resident, practitioner, or simply curious about anesthesia physiology, this episode provides a clear, evidence-based discussion backed by the latest research.
