Introduction: the results of surgical procedures in cardiac surgery depend, to a great extent, on the quality of post-operative care. The complexity of the evolution of these patients requires attention from specialized personnel and a differentiated support structure. Objectives: to characterize patients in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery and to describe the main postoperative complications. Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study of cases operated and received in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery at the Hospital Provincial Universitario Cardiocentro “Ernesto Guevara” during 2018. Results: 161 cardiac surgery patients were received in the postoperative period; 70.8% were male and most of them were between 45 and 54 years old (32.3%); valve surgery was performed on 49.1%; 16.1% of the total patients were ventilated for more than 48 hours and many were complicated by nosocomial pneumonia (11.8%) and there was a very low frequency of post-operative strokes. Conclusions: the behavior of most of the variables studied in the postoperative period was adequate and patients with invasive mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours, as well as nosocomial pneumonia, presented high levels in the postoperative period for this type of surgery. |
