Why the study?
Do prolonged skin-to-skin times and extended on-pump periods increase gastrointestinal complications in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery?
Do prolonged skin-to-skin times and extended on-pump periods increase gastrointestinal complications in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery?
Prolonged surgical and on-pump times independently increase the risk of gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery.
Prolonged operative times may elevate GI complication risk after cardiac surgery; leaves open whether shortening them improves outcomes.
Prolonged skin-to-skin times and extended on-pump periods are important perioperative risk factors regardless of preoperative risk factors.
