Key result
Intra-aortic balloon pump requirement, use of ≥2 inotropic agents, post-operative myocardial infarction, and need for haemodialysis were independent risk factors for prolonged ICU stay (p<0.05).

These factors may aid risk stratification for prolonged ICU stay after open heart surgery; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before guiding practice.

What are the independent risk factors for prolonged ICU stay in adults undergoing open heart surgery?
p-value: p=<0.05
Intra-aortic balloon pump requirement, use of multiple inotropes, post-operative MI, and need for hemodialysis independently predict prolonged ICU stay after open heart surgery.
Tunc et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Open heart surgery (n=513). Clinical risk factors (e.g., intra-aortic balloon pump, inotropes, myocardial infarction, haemodialysis) vs. Absence of risk factors was evaluated on Prolonged ICU stay (≥48 h) (p=<0.05). Intra-aortic balloon pump requirement, use of ≥2 inotropic agents, post-operative myocardial infarction, and need for haemodialysis were independent risk factors for prolonged ICU stay (p<0.05).
