INVESTIGAÇÃO DE COMPLICAÇÕES PULMONARES EM AMBOS OS GÊNEROS DE PACIENTES PÓS CIRURGIA CARDÍACA COM E SEM CIRCULAÇÃO EXTRACORPÓREA

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has the mechanism of exercising cardiac and pulmonary functions during cardiac surgery and without CPB the heart remains in operation throughout the surgery. Even with the passing of the years and with the advancement of techniques, together with the best choice for each individual making use of CPB or not during cardiac surgery, complications are still frequent considering all the factors that are pre-determinant for the condition and rate of patient survival, intervening in the quality of life. The study investigated the presence of pulmonary complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with or without CPB in the intensive care unit of the Regional Hospital of the South of Minas Gerais, for 2 months. The sample consisted of n 20, 65% women, 15% without comorbidities and 20% presented hypertension; 30% of the women underwent mitral valve replacement and myocardial revascularization surgery; 100% submittedto CPB; greater time of CPB were in men 58.42 ± 19.46 (22.85 ± 21.14); longer residence time among women 4.84 (± 1.70) days; 45% of women without complications; 28% women with dyspnea; 33.33% of women treated with oxygen supplementation. It was concluded that CPB did not bring pulmonary complications to the majority of the sample, although without the CPB group.
