- Abstract
This case-control study evaluated the mortality and morbidity in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who underwent open heart surgery, as compared with matched control patients. Outcome measures included length of use of ventilators, vasopressor agents, number of blood units transfused, chest tube output, and length of stay. Hospital length of stay was longer in patients with renal failure, but overall morbidity and mortality were not statistically different. Conclusions include that elective open heart surgery can be performed safely in ESRD patients using routine perioperative management.
