Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the impact of prolonged intubation on postoperative complications in 237 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, specifically coronary artery bypass grafts.
- Patients were divided into two groups based on intubation duration: group I (over 24 hrs) and group II (under 24 hrs), with significant differences in their hospital stays and complication rates.
- The results showed that longer intubation was associated with higher pulmonary and overall complication rates, with group I patients facing a 3.5 times increased risk of complications compared to those in group II.
