Surgery Start Time Does Not Impact Outcome in Elective Cardiac Surgery.
Determine if surgery start time impacts patient outcomes in elective cardiac surgery. ⋯ The authors' results suggested that elective cardiac surgery may be performed late at night without adverse effects, although institutional support for this effort (such as 24-hour intensivist coverage to facilitate fast-track extubation) may have been integral to their findings.
