This descriptive study highlights that patients undergoing CABG are predominantly male and overweight, with high rates of cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities, and experience prolonged hospital stays.
Introduction: The occurrence of cardiovascular diseases has been encouraging all over the world, and Myocardial Revascularization Surgery (CABG), when indicated, has been showing good results. Objective: To identify the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of patients admitted to CABG. Methods: Cross-sectional, retrospective, descriptive and analytical study of the electronic medical records of a University Hospital. Results: The sample consisted of 57 patients, 77.2% male and 22.8% female, 50.9% were married, and 40.3% were overweight. The main comorbidities were cardiovascular (82.5%) and metabolic (77.2%). The mean length of stay on MV (Mechanical Ventilation) was 1.40 ± 3.87 days, length of stay in the Coronary Unit (CCU) 6.26 ± 4.07 days, and length of hospital stay of 26.88 days ± 24.48 days. Conclusion: Most patients who underwent CABG were men, married and overweight. The most prevalent comorbidities were cardiovascular and metabolic. As for the days on MV, men spent more days intubated than women, but the latter stayed longer in the CCU and hospitalized.
