Predictors of prolonged mechanical ventilation after coronary artery bypass grafting among Filipino adults with coronary artery disease
Abstract
Background. Identifying risk factors for prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) can improve postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Objective. To determine the occurrence rate and predictors of PMV among patients who underwent CABG.
Design. Retrospective cohort study.
Setting. Southern Philippines Medical Center Heart Institute, Davao City, Philippines.
Participants. 213 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent CABG.
Main outcome measures. There were 167 (78.4%) males and 46 (21.6%) females in this study. The patients had a mean age of 60.2 ± 9.68 years and a mean BMI of 25.8 ± 5.65 kg/m2. Post-CABG, PMV occurred in 18.87% of the patients. Univariate odds ratios of PMV were significantly high for renal dysfunction (OR=2.75; 95% CI 1.34-5.66), New York Heart Association functional class IV (7.53; 3.07-18.46), angina grade IV (4.52; 1.69-12.07), left ventricular ejection fraction <50% (2.80; 1.23-6.38), cardiogenic shock (12.14; 2.26-65.11), intraoperative IABP insertion (3.17; 1.46-6.88), postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) (6.72; 2.99-15.10), postoperative hemodialysis (4.84; 2.21-10.60), postoperative neurological complications (13.04; 4.21-40.39), postoperative arrhythmia (2.59; 1.19-5.63), pulmonary complications (3.50;1.67-7.34), and other complications (3.44;1.22-9.68). On multiple regression analysis, AKI after CABG significantly increased the odds ratio of PMV (11.82;1.03-135.35).
Conclusion. PMV after CABG occurred in 18.87% of the patients in our study and was associated with poor preoperative cardiac and renal conditions, intraoperative IABP insertion, and postoperative complications. The development of AKI after CABG independently increased the odds ratio of PMV.
