Preventing Isolated Perioperative Reintubation: Who is at highest risk?
Objectives:
1. We aim to characterize IPR nationally through a retrospective review of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program participant user file (NSQIP PUF).
2.Identify risk factors for IPR including analysis of procedure type and preoperative characteristics.https://jdc.jefferson.edu/patientsafetyposters/1041/thumbnail.jp
Improving quality of care through early discharge on postoperative day one or two following robotic cardiac surgery
Cardiac surgery is traditionally associated with a postoperative length of stay (LOS) of at least one week.1-2. The reduced invasiveness of the robotic platform facilitates discharge on postoperative day one (POD1) or two (POD2), thus minimizing cost and risk of hospital-associated complications. We sought to evaluate the characteristics of patients who underwent POD1 or POD2 discharge after robotic cardiac surgery at Jefferson
