Observational StudySmoking Cessation Can Reduce the Incidence of Postoperative Hypoxemia After On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery.
To determine whether smoking cessation can reduce the incidence of postoperative hypoxemia (POH) after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. ⋯ Smoking cessation can reduce POH after on-pump CABG surgery, and it also can shorten the length of postoperative mechanical ventilation.

High Postoperative Blood Pressure After Cardiac Surgery Is Associated With Acute Kidney Injury and Death.
Gaps and uncertainty exist regarding the understanding of optimal clinical goals for perioperative (ie, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative) blood pressure (BP) management in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and the consequences of achieving or failing to achieve those goals. In this setting, it is understood that preoperative hypertension is predictive of poor postoperative outcomes, with a growing appreciation that current, clinically acceptable changes in intraoperative BP also may be associated independently with adverse short- and long-term outcomes. In contrast, the impact of postoperative BP on outcomes after cardiac surgery remains less clear. ⋯ Postoperative hypertension is associated with compromised outcome as reflected by higher mortality, longer length of stay, and higher incidence of renal dysfunction.

Intra-abdominal Hypertension and Postoperative Kidney Dysfunction in Cardiac Surgery Patients.
To determine the incidence of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) in adult cardiac surgery patients and its association with postoperative kidney dysfunction. ⋯ IAH occurs frequently during the perioperative period in cardiac surgery patients and may be associated with postoperative kidney dysfunction.
