Structured PICO
Does goal-directed therapy improve outcomes in high-risk cardiac patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass?
P
Population
High-risk cardiac patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB)
I
Intervention
Goal-directed therapy (goal-directed hemodynamic optimization)
C

O
Outcome
Length of stay in hospital (LOS-H)
Goal-directed hemodynamic optimization significantly reduces hospital and ICU length of stay in high-risk patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass.
