Key result
Centrifugal pumping significantly reduced length of hospital stay (8.9 vs 9.9 days, p<0.05) and improved net financial balance compared to traditional roller pumps in patients undergoing elective CABG.

p-value: p=<0.05
The use of a centrifugal pump during elective CABG significantly reduces hospital length of stay and improves net financial balance compared to traditional roller pumping.
DeBois et al. (1995) conducted an RCT in Elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n=200). Centrifugal pump vs. Roller pump was evaluated on Length of stay (days) (p=<0.05). Centrifugal pumping significantly reduced length of hospital stay (8.9 vs 9.9 days, p<0.05) and improved net financial balance compared to traditional roller pumps in patients undergoing elective CABG.
