Nighttime dexmedetomidine for delirium prevention in non-mechanically ventilated patients after cardiac surgery in elderly cardiac surgery patients with a low baseline risk of postoperative delirium and extubated within 12 h of ICU admission, a short nighttime dose of dexmedetomidine decreased the incidence of delirium on postoperative day one. https://lnkd.in/dsjPr28E #dexmedetomidine #delirium #cardiacsurgery

Predictors, prognosis and costs of prolonged intensive care unit stay after surgery for type A aortic dissection. Minerva Anestesiol. 2024 Jul-Aug;90(7-8):654-661. Prolonged ICU stay was common after surgery for acute TAAD. However, when adjusted for multiple baseline and operative variables as well as adverse postoperative events and the cluster effect of hospitals, it was associated with favorable survival up to 5 years after surgery. https://lnkd.in/grc558dR

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols offer several benefits across the continuum of perioperative care. One of the most significant benefits of ERAS implementation is its ability to reduce postoperative complications. Research has found a reduction in postoperative morbidity of 40% with the use of ERAS protocols. Discover the rest of the benefits that can be achieved for both patients and hospitals in this #ClinicalView article.

🔥 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.
