Influence of Sedation Strategies on Hospital LOS and ICU LOS in Patients Cardiac Surgery

Influence of Sedation Strategies on Hospital LOS and ICU LOS in Patients After Cardiac Surgery With Cardiac Pulmonary Bypass. Comparison of Propofol-based, Dexmedetomidine-based Sedation or Their Combination.

Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative management of the patient are some of the main stages that can affect the hospital LOS and ICU LOS. Experience on the evidence-based approach and the progressive guidelines implementation of recommendations, the issue of the choice of drugs for sedation in the family and their impact on the length of stay in the intensive care unit and the length of hospitalization remain unsolved.

Optimization of sedation regimes can become one of the factors that will help to reduce the length of hospital and ICU stay. The purpose of the study is to track is there a relationship between the drug for sedation and the length of stay of patients in the intensive care unit and in hospital treatment.
