2014, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Operative mortality and the incidence of other major adverse events in this series are consistent with predicted surgical risk and other reported surgical series of high-risk surgical patients and those undergoing mediastinal reexploration. The 5.5% operative mortality rate among patients with expected mortality of 3% who underwent planned ICU reexplorations in this series compares favorably with rates in former surgical series describing reexplorations after cardiac operations in both operating room and ICU settings [1, 3, 5, 14]. In one report of patients undergoing ICU reexplorations, mortality was 6.7% among a patient population similar to those undergoing planned reexplorations in our study [1].
Part 8: Advanced life support: 2010 International consensus on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care science with treatment recommendations
2010, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :Eleven studies documented improvement in outcome in patients with cardiac arrest following cardiac surgery who were treated with resternotomy and internal cardiac compression compared with standard protocol, when administered by experienced personnel in ICUs (LOE 2680,681; LOE 4682–690). Five studies neither supported nor opposed this finding (LOE 4691–694; LOE 5695). One study documented that the risk of infection was not significant after resternotomies conducted appropriately outside of the operating room (LOE 4)689; whereas three studies demonstrated very poor outcomes when resternotomy was performed outside an ICU (LOE 2680; LOE 4686; LOE 5695).
