ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate risky conditions such as the presence of chronic disease in the preoperative period, blood use in the intraoperative period, intra aortic balloon pump (IABP) use and the development of complications in the postoperative period in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and to examine their effects on the duration of intensive care unit stay and their relationship with age.
Materials and Methods:
This is a retrospective study conducted on a total of 60 patients between the ages of 45-64 and over the age of 65 who underwent pump-based cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery in the clinic of cardiovascular surgery, Medipol Mega Hospital. The cases were divided into 2 groups, group 1 as n=30 and group 2 as n=30, patients, group 1 as patients between the ages of 45-64, and group 2 as patients over 65 years of age. For this purpose, CPB time, cross-clamp time, number of vessels performed, perioperative erythrocyte suspension use, inotrope use, IABP need, postoperative blood and blood product use, arrhythmia development, bleeding development, intubation time and length of stay in the intensive care unit were examined.
Results:
A statistically significant difference was found in the findings of arrhythmia development, number of vessels performed, aortic cross-clamp time, CPB time, perioperative erythrocyte suspension, postoperative blood use, length of stay, and intubation time.
Conclusion:
Patients over the age of 65 years had more comorbid chronic diseases, were more prone to complications in the postoperative period, and had longer intensive care stays.
