Non‐intubated general anesthesia with a supraglottic airway for heart transplantation: a preliminary cohort study of feasibility and enhanced recovery

Key Points

• Accelerated recovery observed in recipients undergoing heart transplantation with non-intubated anesthesia.
• Key evidence shows enhanced recovery in selected recipients using supraglottic airway during procedures.
• Prospective evaluations confirm the method's feasibility for heart transplantation with non-intubated general anesthesia.
• Implications highlight potential for improved recovery protocols in transplantation procedures.
