摘要: BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass grafting is a commonly used and effective procedure for treating coronary disease. Atrial dysrhythmias are common after this surgery, but definitive characteristics that predict the development of such postoperatively have not been determined. OBJECTIVES To determine demographic, preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative factors predictive atrial occur grafting. METHODS A descriptive design was to study convenience sample (N = 162) adult patients undergoing Data were collected via prospective chart review. Patients grouped according whether or developed Univariate analyses followed by multivariate conducted using forward stepwise logistic regression variables RESULTS Postoperative in 52 (32.1%). predictors included older age (P < .001) presence right disease .004). Multivariate (odds ratio decade 1.93, 95% CI 1.86-2.00, P 2.67, 1.14-6.23, .02). Hospital stay significantly longer .003) who had than did these dysrhythmias.
