The Operating Surgeon Is an Independent Predictor of Chest Tube Drainage Following Cardiac Surgery

The Operating Surgeon Is an Independent Predictor of Chest Tube Drainage Following Cardiac Surgery Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2014 Jan 16. pii: S1053-0770(13)00517-X. doi: 10.1053/j.jvca.2013.09.010. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S105307701300517X In this single centre retrospective review, the authors in a multivariable analysis determined the surgeon was a predictor of blood loss after cardiac surgery. Despite much research, bleeding and blood use remains an issue after cardiac surgery. Each surgeon should examine their own techniques to minimise bleeding risk. IMA use and CPB time were other factors that were significant. この場合のチェストチューブは心嚢・縦隔ドレーンのこと。術後の出血量は個々の術者による。これが成績に大きく影響する。1000以上出血したら4倍術死リスクが増加する。耳の痛い話だ。
