Background:
Early extubation (EEx) after cardiac surgery has been essentially studied in patients with short cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Whether preoperative spirometry can predict EEx remains controversial.
Objectives:
To investigate whether EEx can be a goal and predicted by preoperative spirometry in valve surgery requiring long CPB.
Methods:
Nonemergent consecutive 210 patients who underwent valve surgery from January 2014 to August 2019 were investigated retrospectively.
Results:
EEx (<8 h) was achieved in 93 (44.3%) patients without increasing adverse events. Patients with EEx had shorter ICU and hospital stays than those without EEx. Multivariate analysis showed that higher estimated glomerular filtration rate and mitral valve repair were significant protective factors for EEx. Conversely, moderate and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease defined by spirometry, longer operation, CPB, and aortic cross-clamp time were significant risk factors.
Conclusions:
EEx should be the goal in current valve surgery. Preoperative spirometry is a significant predictor.

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...
Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
