Background: Early postoperative ( < 6weeks) cardiac catheterization (EPOCC) has been considered high risk and often delayed. Recently, the safety of EPOCC has been demonstrated. The optimal timing of catheterization and its outcomes in struggling postoperative patients remains uncertain.
Objective: To describe EPOCC in our center and its impact on length of stay (LOS), number of mechanical ventilation days, number of ECMO days, and catheter-based interventions.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent cardiac surgery between 01/01/2010 and 12/31/2019 and EPOCC within 30 days after surgery. Cohorts were early EPOCC (≤72 hr) vs late EPOCC ( >72 hr). Data on timing, indication, and complications of EPOCC; days of mechanical ventilation and ECMO; and CICU/total hospital LOS were collected. Data was analyzed using chi-square and Student’s t-test, …

Abstract
A Project Proposal: The Effects of Standard Protocols during CPR on Hospital-Acquired Infections of Post-Open-Heart Surgery Patients in the CVICU
Background: Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are one of the most common complications post-cardiac surgeries and are associated with longer hospitalizations, elevated use of healthcare resources, and increased morbidity and mortality. The effects of HAIs after cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in recent post-open-heart surgery patients remains largely unexplored. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to determine, in the CVICU does implementing standard protocols during CPR on recent post-open-heart surgery patients reduce HAIs?
Literature Review: HAIs during CPR can be acquired through …
