title: Changes in cardiac surgery.
abstract: The specific changes of same-day admission, choice of bypass conduit, use of cardiopulmonary bypass and rapid recovery have been highlighted to reflect current changes in cardiac surgical care. Practice guidelines with respect to symptom management of postoperative pain, nausea and atrial fibrillation are future topics to be discussed reflecting additional practice changes in cardiac surgery.
