Predictors of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation after Open Heart Surgery

Predictors of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation after Open Heart Surgery

INTRODUCTION Due to the importance of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) as a postoperative complication, predicting "high-risk" patients by identifying predisposing risk factors is of important issue. The present study was aimed to identify perioperative variables associated with PMV in patients undergoing open heart surgery. METHODS A total of 743 consecutive patients, American Society ...

predictors of prolonged mechanical ventilation in pediatric patients after cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease

conclusions the results of this study indicated that pmv predictors could be specific for each center and a good administration program is needed for each pediatric cardiac surgery center for the preoperative management of patients undergoing congenital heart surgeries. results a total of 300 patients, 56.7% male, were enrolled in this study. their mean age was 32 ± 40 months .the median durati...

Predictors of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation in Pediatric Patients After Cardiac Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease

BACKGROUND The duration of mechanical ventilation (MV) is one of the most important clinical factors which predict outcomes in pediatric cardiac surgery. The prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) following cardiac surgery is a multifactorial phenomenon and there are conflicts regarding its predictors in pediatric population between different centers. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to des...

Independent predictors of prolonged mechanical ventilation after coronary artery bypass surgery.

OBJECTIVE To determine independent predictors of prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. METHODS Data of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery were included prospectively from July 2009 to July 2010. All data were input into an electronic database. The resulting cohort included a total of 2952 patients of which 77 remain...
