World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
During a prospective evaluation of blood transfusion protocols, a risk-adjusted analysis demonstrated a reduction in transfusions despite poor protocol compliance.
The purpose of this study was to develop a new scoring system for the prompt recognition of clinical deterioration and early treatment in postoperative cardiac surgical patients.
Readmissions after cardiac surgery are common and associated with increased morbidity, mortality and cost of care. Policymakers have targeted coronary artery bypass grafting to achieve value‐oriented health care milestones. We explored the causes of readmission following cardiac surgery among a regional consortium of hospitals.
