Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the clinical significance of different types of arrhythmias in a medical ICU, focusing on their impact on patient length of stay and mortality rates.
- Significant arrhythmias were found in 28.8% of patients, primarily occurring within the first three days of ICU admission, with supraventricular arrhythmias (SVA) linked to longer ICU stays but not higher mortality.
- Ventricular arrhythmias (VA), on the other hand, did not influence the length of stay but were associated with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality, underscoring the importance of distinguishing between these arrhythmia types in critical care.
