Impact of Operating Room Efficiencies on Patient Outcomes Following Primary Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with poor outcomes, however, the association of other operating room (OR) times is less understood. We studied the impact of OR times on outcomes and resource utilization after CABG.

Methods

Patients undergoing isolated primary CABG from a large multicentre regional collaborative were analysed. The impact of risk-adjusted total OR, surgery, non-surgery, CPB, and off-CPB times on morbidity, extubation time, ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS), cost, and mortality, was studied. Multivariable regressions were performed adjusting for STS predicted risk of morbidity or mortality, intraoperative blood transfusion, CPB time, cross-clamp time, presence of a cardiothor
