ABSTRACT

Objective: Determine if ejection fraction (FE) has correlation with the morbidity and the use of resources in cardiac surgery.
Design: Cohort study.
Setting: Cardiac surgery ICU of a General Hospital, Mexico City.
Patients: Four hundred-seventeen patients (mean age 54.6 ± 13.7 yrs) admitted to the ICU after cardiac surgery during one year.
Interventions: None.
Measurements and main results: Demographic, status discharge, EF, morbidity and use of resources were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA of two ways and χ². An excellent correlation between EF and mortality, reoperations, acute renal failure, multiorganic dysfunction, cardiorrespiratory arrest, and the use of Swanz-Ganz catheter, intra-aortic ballon counterpulsation, mechanical ventilation, dialysis and blood products was observed.
Conclusion: EF is an useful isolated prognosis marker of morbidity, mortality and use of resources in cardiac surgery.
