Of these centers, 96.3% (26\/27) participated in our survey. Standard induction agents were etomidate in 26.9% (7\/26), propofol in 19.2% (5\/26), a combination of benzodiazepines and ketamine in 19.2% (5\/26), and barbiturates in 11.5% (3\/26). General anesthesia was preferentially maintained using volatile agents, 61.5% (16\/26), with sevoflurane being the most common volatile agent within this group, 81.2% (13\/16). Intraoperative first-choice\/first-line inotropic drug was epinephrine, 53.8% (14\/26), followed by milrinone, 23.1% (6\/26), and dobutamine 15.4% (4\/26). Fast-track programs performing on-table extubation depending on the type of surgical procedure were established at 61.5% (16\/26) of the centers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
