Tracing the historical roots of cardiac anesthesia and critical care from its inception in the late 1950s, a paradigm shift in perioperative care has been driven by a better understanding of the mechanisms of organ dysfunction in stressful conditions and technological advances regarding surgical approach, patient monitoring, and organ protection. Although progress in cardiac anesthesia and critical care lagged a little behind in Caribbean territories, successful achievements have been accomplished over the last forty years. Compared with Western countries, the greater prevalence of obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension as well as specific diseases such as cardiac amyloidosis, sickle cell anemia, rheumatic heart disease, and tropical infections may reduce a patient\u2019s physiologic reserve and increase the operative risk among the multi-ethnic population living in the French West Indies and Guiana. So far, cardiac anesthesiologists at the University Hospital of Martinique have demonstrated their abilities in implementing evidence-based clinical care processes and adaptating to efficiently working in a complex environment interacting with multiple partners. Attracting specialized physicians in dedicated cardiac surgical centers and the creation of a regional health network supported by governmental authorities, insurance companies, and charitable organizations are necessary to solve the unmet needs for invasive cardiac treatments in the Caribbean region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14020459","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,13]],"date-time":"2025-01-13T06:42:15Z","timestamp":1736750535000},"page":"459","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cardiovascular Anesthesia and Critical Care in the French West Indies: Historical Evolution and Current Prospects"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Christian","family":"Isetta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular & Thoracic Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University Hospital of Martinique, F-97200 Fort de France, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Barbotin-Larrieu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular & Thoracic Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University Hospital of Martinique, F-97200 Fort de France, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sylvain","family":"Massias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular & Thoracic Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University Hospital of Martinique, F-97200 Fort de France, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diae","family":"El Manser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular & Thoracic Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University Hospital of Martinique, F-97200 Fort de France, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrien","family":"Koeltz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular & Thoracic Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University Hospital of Martinique, F-97200 Fort de France, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia Shri","family":"Balram Christophe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular & Thoracic Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University Hospital of Martinique, F-97200 Fort de France, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Soualhi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular & Thoracic Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University Hospital of Martinique, F-97200 Fort de France, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3691-4440","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc","family":"Licker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular & Thoracic Anaesthesia and Critical Care, University Hospital of Martinique, F-97200 Fort de France, France"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, CH-1206 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"141","DOI":"10.3109\/08941939.2012.690328","article-title":"Historical Development of Modern Anesthesia","volume":"25","author":"Robinson","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
