Background/Introduction Many risk factors have been shown to be independently predictive of the success of fast-track for post cardiac surgery patients. While a safe fast-track protocol is important, patient selection is crucial too in determining the success of fast-tracking patients. Aims/Objectives We aim to improve on our fast-track protocol by identifying risk factors affecting extubation time in our institution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
