EARLY RESPIRATORY OUTCOMES FOLLOWING CARDIAC SURGERY IN PATIENTS WITH COVID-19

ABSTRACT

Four patients underwent off-pump cardiac surgery and 21 underwent on-pump cardiac surgery with a median cardiopulmonary bypass time of 85 minutes (interquartile range (IQR, 50-147). B Conclusions: b Although early respiratory outcomes of asymptomatic COVID-19 patients who underwent early cardiac surgery appeared to be satisfactory, compared to the propensity-scored matched non-COVID group, the postoperative outcomes were worse, especially in the ICU readmitted patients.
