A few nice pearls in this article that are easily implementable with appropriate multidisciplinary support in cardiac surgery patients preop, intraop, and postop. #cardiacanesthesia #cardiacsurgery #criticalcare

An important addition to improving Perioperative Care in cardiac surgery

Hot off the press: "10 Commandments of Less Invasive CABG Surgery," highlighting the critical role of TTFM technology in ensuring successful outcomes. At Medistim, we're proud to see our technology supporting advancements in minimally invasive cardiac surgery.

This retrospective study investigated the impact of applying moderate versus lower positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in the early postoperative period for cardiac surgery patients in the ICU. It involved 334 patients, with 102 receiving moderate PEEP (≥ 7 cm H2O). #CardiacSurgery #IntensiveCareUnit #MechanicalVentilation #PositiveEndexpiratoryPressure

🔥 Just publihed! 🔥 "Early chest tube removal on the first postoperative day protocol of an enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery programme is safe" in European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery 2024. 🔍 Our findings reveal that the CTR on POD1 protocol can be safely incorporated into a standardized systematic Enhanced Recovery After Surgery programme. This approach not only enables early mobilization but also significantly contributes to the improvement of postoperative outcomes, setting a new benchmark in patient care. 📖 https://lnkd.in/exxG62J8 We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our team members and collaborators for their hard work and dedication. This achievement is a testament to the collective effort and passion for excellence in the field of ERAS programme in cardiac surgery.
