Article Synopsis
- Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are frequent after cardiac surgery and can lead to serious issues like longer hospital stays and higher healthcare costs.
- A study of 314 patients found that 42% developed at least one PPC within 12 hours post-surgery, with pleural effusion as the most common complication.
- Risk factors for these complications included moderate hypoalbuminemia for left-sided effusion and increased urine output for bilateral effusion, while a higher BMI was linked to a lower risk of pulmonary edema.
