Summary

The induction of anesthesia is one of the most critical situations for high-risk-patients undergoing major surgery. For several reasons, it is crucial to maintain adequate blood pressure and cardiac output during this phase. This observational study aims to find out if the choice of the induction agent has a major impact on blood pressure and the use of antihypotensive drugs during the induction and the surgical procedure in heart-failure patients undergoing the implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD).
