Risk factors for prolonged intensive care unit stays in patients after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass: A retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patients after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) require a stay in the ICU postoperatively. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of prolonged length of stay (LOS) in the ICU after cardiac surgery with CPB and identify associated risk factors.

Methods

The current investigation was an observational, retrospective study that included 395 ICU patients who underwent cardiac surgery with CPB at a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou from June 2015 to June 2017. Data were obtained from the hospital database. Binary logistic regression modeling was used to analyze risk factors for prolonged ICU LOS.

Results

Of 395 patients, 137 (34.7%) had a prolonged ICU LOS (>72.0 h), and the median ICU LOS was 50.9 h. Several variables were found associated wi
