Retrospective study of intra-operative complications in the surgery of revascularization of the myocardium

Abstract

The intra-operative complications in the myocardium revascularization (MRC) when previously known can lead the care applied in the operating theater, supporting the Intensive Therapy Unit continuation and so during the hospitalization. When the crew is aware of these complications suffered by the inpatient will be able to foresee and provide more specific care in the sequence of the surgery evolution. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and complication types observed in the intra-operative myocardial revascularization surgery. It is a retrospective, descriptive, transversal study, based upon secondary data, with an intentional 123-patient-sample. The data collection took place through the access of the West of Parana Cardiovascular Diseases Institute database, in Cascavel. The data was analyzed in the Statistic 6,0 program. The complication types observed in that period were: cardiovascular, pulmonary, alteration in the vases of the graft and bleeding. Among these, the one that had the largest frequency was the alteration in the vases of the graft in 33 cases, equivalent to 26,8% of the cases. The importance of identifying these complications in this group is taken into account as a way of preventing from them.
