[Factors Affecting Duration of Stay in IntensiveCare Unit After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery].

We studied predictors of prolonged stay in intensive care unit (ICU) after coronary surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass. Factors significantly associated with duration of ICU stay were elevated levels of glucose and lactate in venous blood, types of conduits used, and type of bypass surgery. Results of this study can be used for elaboration of a quantitative scale for prediction of duration of postoperative treatment in ICU.
