Journal ArticleDOI
Atrial fibrillation following coronary artery bypass graft surgery: Predictors, outcomes, and resource utilization
Joseph P. Mathew,R. Parks,Joseph S. Savino,Arnold S. Friedman,Colleen G. Koch,Dennis T. Mangano,Warren S. Browner +6 more
TL;DR: Postoperative AFIB is common after CABG surgery and has a significant effect on both intensive care unit and overall hospital length of stay and Randomized controlled trials are necessary to determine if modification of these surgical practices, especially in patients at high risk, would decrease the incidence of postoperativeAFIB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability in Transfusion Practice for Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Persists Despite National Consensus Guidelines A 24-Institution Study
E. P. Stover,Lawrence C. Siegel,R. Parks,Jack Levin,Simon C. Body,Rosemarie Maddi,Michael N. D'Ambra,Dennis T. Mangano,Bruce D. Spiess +8 more
TL;DR: Significant variability in institutional transfusion practice was observed for allogeneic packed red blood cells (PRBCs) and hemostatic blood components and for patients at institutions with liberal rather than conservative transfusions practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atrial Fibrillation Following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery-Reply
TL;DR: In the authors' study of 2417 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery at 24 McSPI sites, there was no association between the intraoperative use of an IABP and the occurrence of postoperative AF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Institutional variability in red blood cell conservation practices for coronary artery bypass graft surgery
E. Price Stover,Lawrence C. Siegel,Simon C. Body,Jack Levin,R. Parks,Rosemarie Maddi,Michael N. D'Ambra,Dennis T. Mangano,Bruce D. Spiess +8 more
TL;DR: Inst institutions vary significantly in perioperative blood conservation practices for CABG surgery, and the appropriate use of red blood cell conservation techniques is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and efficacy of shed mediastinal blood transfusion after cardiac surgery: A multicenter observational study
Simon C. Body,J Birmingham,R. Parks,Catherine Ley,Rosemarie Maddi,Stanton K. Shernan,Lawrence C. Siegel,E. P. Stover,Michael N. D'Ambra,Jack Levin,Dennis T. Mangano,Bruce D. Spiess +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that SMB is ineffective as a blood conservation method and may be associated with a greater frequency of wound infection.
