ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between different target levels of glucose and the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS: We designed a prospective study in a university hospital where 109 consecutive patients were enrolled during a six-month period. All patients were scheduled for open-heart surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups. One group consisted of 55 patients and had a target glucose level of 80-130 mg/dl, while the other contained 54 patients and had a target glucose level of 160-200 mg/dl. These parameters were controlled during surgery and for 36 hours after surgery in the intensive care unit. Primary outcomes were clinical outcomes, including time of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the intensive care unit, infection, hypoglycemia, renal or neurological dysfunction, blood transfusion and length of stay in the hospital. The secondary outcome was a combined end-point (mortality at 30 days, infection or length of stay in the intensive care unit of more than 3 days). A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: The anthropometric and clinical characteristics of the patients from each group were similar, except for weight and body mass index. The mean glucose level during the protocol period was 126.69 mg/dl in the treated group and 168.21 mg/dl in the control group (p<0.0016). There were no differences between groups regarding clinical outcomes, including the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the intensive care unit, blood transfusion, postoperative infection, hypoglycemic event, neurological dysfunction or 30-day mortality (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In 109 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, both protocols of glycemic control in an intraoperative setting and in the intensive care unit were found to be safe, easily...

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o atendimento de cardiopatas congênitos e cardiopatas isquêmicos submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca no protocolo de atendimento na via rápida (fast-track recovery) em relação ao convencional. MÉTODOS: Avaliada a movimentação de 175 pacientes, 107 (61 por cento) homens e 68 (39 por cento) mulheres, idades entre 0,3-81 anos nas diferentes unidades hospitalares. RESULTADOS: A taxa de alta das diferentes unidades hospitalares por unidade de tempo, dos cardiopatas congênitos atendidos no protocolo da via rápida em relação ao convencional foi: a) 11,3 vezes a taxa de alta quando assistidos no protocolo da via convencional, quanto ao tempo de permanência no centro cirúrgico; b) 6,3 vezes quanto à duração da intervenção cirúrgica; c) 6,8 vezes quanto à duração da anestesia; d) 1,5 vezes quanto à duração da perfusão; e) 2,8 vezes quanto à permanência na unidade de recuperação pós-operatória I; f) 6,7 vezes quanto à permanência no hospital (período de tempo entre a data da internação e a data da alta); g) 2,8 vezes quanto à permanência na unidade de internação pré-operatória; h) 2,1 vezes quanto à permanência na unidade de internação após a alta da recuperação pós-operatória; i) associada com redução de despesas pré e pós-operatórias. A diferença não foi significativa nos portadores de cardiopatia isquêmica. CONCLUSAO: Verificou-se redução do período de internação e de despesas no atendimento dos pacientes submetidos à intervenção cirúrgica cardíaca no protocolo da via rápida.
