Objective To summarize the management of anesthesia during robotic off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with the da Vinci surgical system in minimal thoractomy. Methods From May 2011 to December 2014, 24 patients (20 males and 4 females) at the average age of 62.1±12.8 years underwent robotic off-pump CABG with the da Vinci surgical system in our hospital. All the patients underwent the continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring, endotracheal intubation with the double-lumen tube after induction of general anesthesia, fiber bronchoscope positioning, intraoperative application of one-lung ventilation, placing the Swan-Ganz floating catheter, and monitoring the echocar-diography (TEE) and blood gas analysis and indexes of hemodynamics. Results All the patients were stable during the anesthesia induction period. There was no severe hypoxemia and hypercapnia. The surgery was successful and there was no thoracotomy. All the patients left off breathing machine postoperatively.The duration of mechanical ventilation was 5.3±2.8 hours. All patients were moved out from ICU in 18 hours.There was no thoracotomy for hemostasis after surgery. All the patients were discharged on the fourth or fifth day postoperatively. There was no death relevant to surgery or perioperative complications. There was no recurrence of cardiovascular events on the 30th day,3 months and 6 months postoperative follow-up. Conclusion This anesthesia method is safe and effective. It is a rapid recovery way with the fewer complications, less suffering of the patients, reliable anesthesia management and high satisfaction of the patients'.
