Resumo
VERA URQUIZA, Rafael; BUCIO RETA, Eduardo Rafael; BERRIOS BARCENAS, Enrique Alexander e CHORENO MACHAIN, Tania. Risk factors for the development of postoperative pneumonia after cardiac surgery. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2016, vol.86, n.3, pp.203-207. ISSN 1665-1731. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acmx.2015.12.005.
Objective
Identify risk factors that determine pneumonia development in patients who have undergone cardiac surgery.
Methods
Prospective study of a single cohort in a postoperative intensive care unit at a tertiary care center, encompassing all patients undergoing cardiac surgery from January to July 2014.
Results
31 postoperative pneumonia cases were enrolled out of 211 patients (14.6%). The following independent risk factors were identified: hypertension (OR: 3.94, p = 0.01), chronic renal failure (OR: 13.67, p = 0.02), reintubation (OR: 22.29, p = 0.001) and extubation after 6 h (OR: 15.81, p = 0.005).
Conclusions
Main determinants for pneumonia after surgery were hypertension, chronic renal failure, extubation after 6 h and reintubation.
