EARLY EXTUBATION
(LOW/MED RISK)
Anesthetic management directed toward early
postoperative extubation and accelerated recovery of lowto medium-risk patients undergoing uncomplicated CABG
is recommended.
For all CAB patients with a predicted STS mortality of
<=2%, a LVEF of >= 40%, a Class I or II airway using the
Mallampati scoring system, and an ASA status <4...the
attending anesthesiologist will document a dialogue with the
CRNA team and the attending surgeon regarding
appropriateness for for early extubation and rapid recovery.
A
All CAB patients with a predicted STS mortality of >=5%,
LVEF of <=25%, Left Main stenosis of >=50%, previous
sternotomy, or who has been deemed by the attending
cardiac surgeon to be "high risk" will have TEE
intraoperatively by an experienced anesthesia or cardiology
practitioner, prior to incision.
A
In all post-operative CAB patients, heart rates >120 or <50,
diastolic BP <50 or >100, CVP <6, PAD <8, Hct <=24
and/or urine output of <15 ml/hr when monitored by Foley
or <180 ml/12 hrs when not….will be evaluated by a
clinician and a note entered in the record documenting the

Continuous intravenous insulin will be started in the OR
when hourly surveilance blood glucose levels rise above 180

adverse cardiovascular events.
prescribed at discharge, unless a clinician documents a
contraindication, and, at the post op clinic visit the patient
will be advised to continue aspirin indefinitely.
Beta blockers should be administered for at least 24
hours before CABG to all patients without
contraindications to reduce the incidence of clinical
sequelae of postoperative AF (also included as Section
5.7, Class I, #1)
A multidisciplinary team approach (consisting of a
cardiologist, cardiac surgeon, vascular surgeon, and
neurologist) is recommended for patients with clinically
significant carotid artery disease for whom CABG is
planned.
It is recommended that surgery be delayed after the
administration of streptokinase, urokinase, and tissuetype plasminogen activators until hemostatic capacity is
restored, if possible. The timing of recommended delay
should be guided by the pharmacodynamic half-life of the
involved agent
CAB will be delayed after the administration of
streptokinase, urokinase, and tissue-type plasminogen
activators until the attending surgeon determines and
documents that hemostatic capacity is adequately restored,
or that further delay is more dangerous than proceeding.
Indication
Attending surgeon documents a Class I or II indication for
CAB pre-op from ACCF/AHA 2011 Guideline document.
RV
In any CAB patient with the pre-op diagnosis of AMI with
significant RV involvement as determined by echo, the
primary cardiac surgeon will document a dialogue with
another cardiac surgeon and a cardiologist and note the
rationale for proceeding with the procedure.

All CAB patients over age 65 or, with a history of CVA, TIA,
carotid bruit , carotid endarterectomy, peripheral vascular
disease, visibly calcified great vessels, LM >=50%, current
smoking and/or combined diabetes and hypertension will
undergo carotid duplex scanning unless the attending
cardiac surgeon documents that delay is dangerous. If the
carotid study documents hemodynamically significant
disease in both carotids, the attending cardiac surgeon must
document a dialogue with a cardiologist and either or both a
vascular surgeon or a neurologist regarding planned
treatment.
Hair removal
Intranasal mupirocin will be administered to all CAB patients
prior to operation unless a nasal culture for s. aureus is
negative. Urgent patients will be treated as soon as
identified and elective patients for at least 5-days
preoperatively.
Numerator: Surgery patients with surgical site hair removal

removal.

Chlorhexedine shower/ pre-op wipe
All elective CAB patients will be instructed to shower with
Chlorhexedine daily for 3 days before operation; all urgent
CAB patients will shower, be bathed or wiped with
chlorhexadine daily from initial CTS evaluation until
operation.
Hold pre-op NSAIDS
In all CAB patients, NSAIDS will be stopped at the point of
initial contact.

OSA screening tool will be documented on all pre-op CAB
patients and if positive, referral for evaluation will be done
at the post-op clinic visit.
