Ultra fast-track extubation in heart transplant surgery patients.

Background: Heart transplant surgeries using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) typically requires mechanical ventilation in intensive care units (ICU) in post-operation period. Ultra fast-track extubation (UFE) have been described in patients undergoing various cardiac surgeries.

Aim: To determine the possibility of ultra-fast-track extubation instead of late extubation in post heart transplant patients.
