Why the study?
The study evaluated the effect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on complications after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with ischemic heart disease.
Does OFFPUMP CABG reduce postoperative complications compared to ONPUMP CABG in patients with cardiac ischemia and concomitant COPD?

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
In patients with ischemic heart disease and COPD, OFFPUMP CABG is associated with shorter operation times and reduced need for prolonged mechanical ventilation compared to ONPUMP CABG.
This work is relevant because it studies the effect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on the incidence of complications after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with ischemic lung disease. 118 histories of patients, who underwent CABG under conditions of artificial circulation and without it, on a working heart, were analyzed. It was found that in patients with CABG under conditions of infarction and concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the period of artificial ventilation was significantly longer among all the assessed complications and features of the postoperative period than in the group of patients with CABG performed on a working heart.
