Ultrafast track versus conventional fast track in patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a propensity score-matched analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We aimed at comparing the risk of major adverse events and length of stay between patients undergoing ultrafast track and conventional fast track.

Methods

Retrospective cohort study adjusted by propensity score matching, including patients operated on between March 2020 and December 2022 of any of the following: coronary, valve surgery or ascending aorta surgery. Patients were divided into 2 groups: ultrafast track: extubation in the operating room and fast track: extubation attempted in the first 6 postoperative hours. The primary objective was to compare the risk of the combined event death, lung respiratory outcomes (reintubation, mechanical ventilation longer than 24 h or pneumonia), or acute renal failure.

Results

A total of 1126 patients were included
