Assessment of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery and Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit
Sponsor: Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein
Summary
The objective of this study is to investigate the incidence of death and early postoperative complications, identify potential risk factors, and examine the demographic characteristics of patients and epidemiology of cardiovascular procedures. Our hypothesis is that gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of patients who undergo cardiac surgery has the potential to improve outcomes for this patient profile. Thus, information was sought regarding the patient characteristics, surgeries performed, anesthesia administered, incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications, and risk factors associated with complication and mortality in the ICU. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Incidence of mortality or severe postoperative complications that occur within the first 3 postoperative days or until discharge from the ICU. * Risk factors associated with severe complications in patients who undergo cardiac surgery. * Characteristics of patients, anesthesia and surgical procedures performed * Incidence of severe intraoperative complications and moderate postoperative complications * Evaluate the influence of accumulated fluid balance on outcomes, mortality, and length of ICU stay. * Evaluate mortality in the ICU. * Describe the risk factors associated with mortality.
