Intraoperative Oxygen Practices in Cardiac Surgery: A National Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe the current nationwide perspectives and practice regarding intraoperative oxygen titration in cardiac surgery.

Design

Prospective, observational survey.

Setting

Hospitals across the United States.

Participants

Cardiovascular anesthesiologists and perfusionists.

Interventions

Expert- and consensus-derived electronic surveys were sent to perfusionists and cardiac anesthesiologists to evaluate the current intraoperative practices around oxygen administration. Providers were asked about individual intraoperative oxygen titration practices used at different stages of cardiac surgical procedures. Anonymous responses were collected in the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap).

Measurements and main results

A total of 3,335 provi
