Nurs Crit Care 2024; 29:807-823. [PMID: 38622971 DOI: 10.1111/nicc.13077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is characterized by all three adverse survivorship dimensions: physical function, cognitive function and mental health status. AIM This review aimed to describe the quality of life (QoL) of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) survivors with PICS after discharge and of their relatives with Family Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS-F) and to report anxiety, depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) in studies investigating PICS. STUDY DESIGN A systematic review was carried out. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. This review was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42022382123). RESULTS We included 19 studies of PICS and PICS-F in this systematic review. Fourteen observational studies report the effects of PICS on depression, 12 studies on anxiety and nine on post-traumatic stress disorder and 10 on QoL. Mobility, personal care, usual activities and pain/discomfort in QoL were the domains most affected by PICS. A significant association was demonstrated between a high level of ICU survivors' anxiety and high levels of ICU relatives' burden. Strain-related symptoms and sleep disorders were problems encountered by ICU relatives with PICS-F. CONCLUSION PICS and PICS-F were widespread experiences among ICU survivors and their ICU relatives, respectively. The results of this review showed the adverse effects of PICS and PICS-F on QoL. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE PICS and PICS-F strongly impact the rehabilitation process and are measured in terms of health costs, financial stress and potentially preventable readmission.

Abstract
Background This study aims to compare the surgical results, complications, mortality rates, and inpatient costs in two patient groups followed, whether in the intensive care unit or general ward after a major thoracic procedure and to examine clinical and surgical factors related to the development of complications. Methods Between January 2018 and June 2021, a total of 485 patients (150 males, 335 females; mean age: 58.3±13.2 years; range, 22 to 86 years) who underwent a major thoracic surgery in our clinic were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups as the intensive care unit patients (n=254) and general ward patients (n=231). In the former group, the patients were followed in the intensive care unit for a day, while in the general ward group, the patients were taken directly to the ward. The groups were compared after propensity score matching. All patients were analyzed for risk factors of morbidity development. Results After propensity score matching, 246 patients were enrolled including 123 patients in each group. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in any features except for late morbidity, and inpatient costs were higher in the intensive care unit group (p<0.05). In the multivariate analysis, age, American Society of Anesthesiologists Class 3, and secondary malignancy were found to be associated with morbidity (p<0.05). Conclusion In experienced centers, it is both safe and costeffective to follow almost all of the major thoracic surgery patients postoperatively in the general ward.

Abstract
Background Prolonged post-surgery intensive care unit (ICU) stay for congenital heart disease (CHD) has been explored in the pediatric population. However, there is limited data for adult CHD (ACHD), also called grown-up congenital heart (GUCH) disease, especially in low-resource countries where intensive care beds are scarce. This study identifies factors associated with prolonged ICU stay following surgery for ACHD in Pakistan, a lower-middle-income country (LMIC). Methods This retrospective study included all adult patients (⩾18 years) who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass for their CHD from 2011-2016 at a tertiary-care private hospital in Pakistan. Prolonged ICU stay was defined as stay >6 days (75th percentile). Regression analysis was used to explore risk factors of prolonged ICU stay. Results A total of 166 patients (53.6% males) with a mean age of 32.05 ± 12.11 years were included. Atrial septal defect repair was the most common surgery (42.2%). Most patients were categorized as Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery 1 (RACHS-1) Category 1 (51.8%) and Category 2 (30.1%). Forty-three of 166 patients (25.9%) experienced prolonged ICU stay. Complications occurred in 38.6% of patients postoperatively, with the most common being acute kidney injury (29.5%). On multivariable logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, and RACHS-1 categories, intraoperative inotrope score, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamp time duration of mechanical ventilation, and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) were associated with prolonged ICU stay. Conclusion Surgeons managing ACHD in LMICs must strive for shorter operative durations and the judicious use of intraoperative inotropes in addition to anticipating and promptly managing postoperative complications such as AKI, to minimize ICU stay in countries where intensive care beds are a scarce resource.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery is resource intensive and often requires multidisciplinary involvement to facilitate discharge. To facilitate evidence-based resource planning, we derived and validated clinical models to predict postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS). METHODS We used linked, population-level databases with information on all Ontario residents and included patients aged 18 years or older who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting, valvular or thoracic aorta surgeries between October 2008 and September 2019. The primary outcome was hospital LOS. The models were derived by using patients who had surgery before Sept. 30, 2016, and validated after that date. To address the rightward skew in LOS data and to identify top-tier resource users, we used logistic regression to derive a model to predict the likelihood of LOS being more than the 98th percentile (> 30 d), and γ regression in the remainder to predict continuous LOS in days. We used backward stepwise variable selection for both models. RESULTS Among 105 193 patients, 2422 (2.3%) had an LOS of more than 30 days. Factors predicting prolonged LOS included age, female sex, procedure type and urgency, comorbidities including frailty, high-risk acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and psychiatric and pulmonary circulatory disease. The C statistic was 0.92 for the prolonged LOS model and the mean absolute error was 2.4 days for the continuous LOS model. INTERPRETATION We derived and validated clinical models to identify top-tier resource users and predict continuous LOS with excellent accuracy. Our models could be used to benchmark clinical performance based on expected LOS, rationally allocate resources and support patient-centred operative decision-making.

Abstract
Understanding postoperative recovery is critical for guiding efforts to improve post-acute phase care. How recovery evolves during the first 30 days after cardiac surgery is not well-understood. A digital platform may enable granular quantification of recovery by frequently capturing patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) that can be clinically implemented to support recovery. We conduct a prospective cohort study using a digital platform to measure recovery after cardiac surgery using a PROM sent every 3 days for 30 days after surgery to characterize recovery in multiple domains (e.g., pain, sleep, activities of daily living, anxiety) and to identify factors related to the patient's perception of overall recovery. We enroll patients who underwent cardiac surgery at a tertiary center between January 2019 and March 2020 and automatically deliver PROMs and reminders electronically. Of the 10 surveys delivered per patient, 8 (IQR 6-10) are completed. Patients who experienced postoperative complications more commonly belong to the worst overall recovery trajectory. Of the 12 domains modeled, only the worst anxiety trajectory is associated with the worse overall recovery trajectory membership, suggesting that even when patients struggle in the recovery of other domains, the patient may still feel progress in their recovery. We demonstrate that using a digital platform, automated PROM data collection, and characterization of multi-domain recovery trajectories is feasible and likely implementable in clinical practice. Overall recovery may be impacted by complications, while slow progress in constituent domains may still allow for the perception of overall recovery progression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) on hospital mortality and non-home discharge for patients undergoing cardiac surgery over a 16-year period in Australia and New Zealand. DESIGN A retrospective, multicenter cohort study covering the period January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2019. SETTING One hundred one hospitals in Australia and New Zealand that submitted data to the Australia New Zealand Intensive Care Society Adult Patient Database. PARTICIPANTS Adult patients (aged >18) who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting, valve surgery, or combined valve + coronary artery surgery. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The authors analyzed 252,948 cardiac surgical patients from 101 hospitals, with a median age of 68.3 years (IQR 60-75.5), of whom 74.2% (187,632 of 252,948) were male patients. A U-shaped relationship was observed between ICU LOS and hospital mortality, with significantly elevated mortality at short (<20 hours) and long (>5 days) ICU LOS, which persisted after adjustment for illness severity and across clinically important subgroups (odds ratio for mortality with ICU LOS >5 days = 3.21, 95% CI 2.88-3.58, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Prolonged duration of ICU LOS after cardiac surgery is associated with increased hospital mortality in a U-shaped relationship. An ICU LOS >5 days should be considered a meaningful definition for prolonged ICU stay after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
The objective: to study the quality of life (QOL) and social functioning of patients who underwent cardiosurgery intervention (CSI) with the use of artificial circulation (AR) in the postoperative period, to determine and improve the system for further medical, psychological and social rehabilitation.
Materials and methods. 700 patients who underwent CSI with the use of AR were treated at the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. 86 patients had cerebral infarction (CI), 217 patients with signs of postoperative encephalopathy, and 504 patients with signs of cognitive dysfunction. The level of QOL and social functioning in patients with this pathology was analyzed.
Statistical analysis of differences in the quantitative values of indicators was performed using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test.
Results. It was found that patients after CSI had generally low levels of QOL in all fields, namely in the indicators of psychological (emotional) well-being, general perception of life, ability to work, physical well-being, personal realization, selfcare and independence; interpersonal interaction.
The presence of ischemic and neurological complications in patients after CSI significantly reduces the QOL indicators in all areas, with differences in the quantitative values of such patients statistically significant (p<0,01) compared to the groups of patients without such complications.
The most significant deterioration of QOL is found in patients with cerebral infarction in the postoperative period, slightly less significant – in patients with signs of postoperative encephalopathy, and the smallest changes – in patients with signs of cognitive dysfunction.
Conclusions. The main task of modern cardiac surgery is not only to save the patient from death, but also to improve the quality of life (QOL). At the same time, patients after cardiac surgery are at risk of developing ischemic, neurological complications that significantly reduce QOL in all areas of life. That is why it is necessary to take into account the findings of the study in the development of treatment and rehabilitation programs and preventive measures for such patients.

The salutary effect of peritoneal dialysis catheters on enhanced recovery among high-risk pediatric patients undergoing the left coronary transfer procedure: a cohort study. BMC Pediatr 2021; 21:461.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence for peritoneal dialysis catheter (PDC) usage in pediatric patients undergoing surgery for deteriorating cardiac dysfunction is lacking. This investigation explored factors associated with PDC usage and its effectiveness in children with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA). METHODS Eighty-four children undergoing left coronary artery transfer were retrospectively recruited. The primary endpoint was the postoperative ratio of the general ward/[intensive care unit (ICU)] length of stay. Univariable and multivariable analyses were fitted to assess factors related most strongly to PDC and the ratio of general ward/ICU length of stay. RESULTS Of the 84 patients, 17 (20.2%) underwent postoperative PDC placement. Patients with extreme cardiac dysfunction [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤25%] were much more likely to require a PDC (OR, 9.88; 95% CI, 2.13-45.76; P = 0.003). Moreover, univariate analysis indicated that concomitant mitral repair significantly decreased the likelihood of PDC placement (OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.07-0.85; P = 0.026). In those with cardiac dysfunction (LVEF ≤50%), PDC use was associated with a reduced ratio of ward/ICU length of stay (B, - 1.62; 95% CI, - 2.77- -0.46; P = 0.008), as was age ≤ 12 months (B, - 1.57; 95% CI, - 2.88- -0.26; P = 0.02). At the 1-year follow-up, cardiac improvement was significantly greater in patients with PDC usage than in those without it (P < 0.001), and the number of mitral recoveries was comparable between the groups (64.2% vs. 53.3%, P = 0.434). CONCLUSION In cohorts with ALCAPA, PDC placement following surgery may be necessary for patients with extreme cardiac compromise, while concomitant mitral repair can probably reduce their usage rate. PDC is beneficial in conferring an improvement in cardiac and mitral performance. Importantly, after patients are transferred from the ICU, recovery efficiency in the general ward can be enhanced by PDC placement, and hospital discharge can therefore be achieved early, especially for patients younger than 12 months or with LVEF ≤50%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a possible adjunctive therapy applied to cardiac surgery patients to improve physical function, but the results are still controversial. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of NMES on functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) in cardiac surgery patients. METHODS The following databases PubMed, Embase, Medicine, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for the English language from inception up to March 2021. A systematic targeted literature search evaluating the effects of NMES on physical function and QoL in cardiac surgery patients. The effect size of NMES was presented as the mean difference (MD)/standardized mean difference (SMD) and its 95% confidence interval using fixed/random effect models according to heterogeneity. Two reviewers independently screened and appraised each study by using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. RESULTS Six studies were included involving 400 cardiac surgery patients. The meta-analysis showed that NMES had effect on knee extensor strength (SMD=1.68; p=0.05), but had no effects on 6-minute walking distance (MD=44.08; p=0.22), walking speed (MD=0.05; p=0.24), grip strength (MD=3.01; p=0.39), or QoL (SMD=0.53; p=0.19). CONCLUSIONS NMES use in cardiac surgery patients is limited by low to moderate quality. Existing evidence shows that NMES is safe and effective for improving knee extensor strength.

Xi X, Chen Y, Ma WG, Xie J, Liu YM, Zhu JM, Gong M, Zhu GF, Sun LZ. Is obstructive sleep apnoea associated with hypoxaemia and prolonged ICU stay after type A aortic dissection repair? A retrospective study in Chinese population. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2021; 21:421. [PMID: 34488643 PMCID: PMC8422665 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-021-02226-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is prevalent among patients with aortic dissection, its prognostic impact is not yet determined in patients undergoing major vascular surgery. We aimed to investigate the association of OSA with hypoxaemia and with prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay after type A aortic dissection (TAAD) repair. Methods This retrospective study continuously enrolled 83 patients who underwent TAAD repair from January 1 to December 31, 2018. OSA was diagnosed by sleep test and defined as an apnoea hypopnea index (AHI) of ≥ 15/h, while an AHI of > 30/h was defined severe OSA. Hypoxaemia was defined as an oxygenation index (OI) of < 200 mmHg. Prolonged ICU stay referred to an ICU stay of > 72 h. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive value of postoperative OI for prolonged ICU stay. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to assess the association of OSA with hypoxaemia and prolonged ICU stay. Results A total of 41 (49.4%) patients were diagnosed with OSA using the sleep test. Hypoxaemia occurred postoperatively in 56 patients (67.5%). Postoperatively hypoxaemia developed mostly in patients with OSA (52.4% vs. 83.0%, p = 0.003), and particularly in those with severe OSA (52.4% vs. 90.5%, p = 0.003). The postoperative OI could fairly predict a prolonged ICU stay (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve, 0.72; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.60–0.84; p = 0.002). Severe OSA was associated with both postoperative hypoxaemia (odds ratio [OR] 6.65; 95% CI 1.56–46.26, p = 0.008) and prolonged ICU stay (OR 5.58; 95% CI 1.54–20.24, p = 0.009). Conclusions OSA was common in patients with TAAD. Severe OSA was associated with postoperative hypoxaemia and prolonged ICU stay following TAAD repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pain after cardiac surgery is a significant problem, but studies often report pain value as an average of the study cohort, obscuring clinically meaningful differences in pain trajectories. We sought to characterize heterogeneity in postoperative pain experiences. METHODS We enrolled patients undergoing a cardiac surgery at a tertiary care center between January 2019 and February 2020. Participants received an electronically-delivered questionnaire every 3 days for 30 days to assess incision site pain level. We evaluated the variability in pain trajectories over 30 days by the cohort-level mean with confidence band and latent classes identified by group-based trajectory model. Group-based trajectory model estimated the probability of belonging to a specific trajectory of pain. RESULTS Of 92 patients enrolled, 75 provided ≥3 questionnaire responses. The cohort-level mean showed a gradual and consistent decline in the mean pain level, but the confidence bands covered most of the pain score range. The individual-level trajectories varied substantially across patients. Group-based trajectory model identified 4 pain trajectories: persistently low (n=9, 12%), moderate declining (initially mid-level, followed by decline; n=26, 35%), high declining (initially high-level, followed by decline; n=33, 44%), and persistently high pain (n=7, 9%). Persistently high pain and high declining groups did not seem to be clearly distinguishable until approximately postoperative day 10. Patients in persistently low pain trajectory class had a numerically lower median age than the other 3 classes and were below the lower confidence band of the cohort-level approach. Patients in the persistently high pain trajectory class had a longer median length of hospital stay than the other 3 classes and were often higher than the upper confidence band of the cohort-level approach. CONCLUSIONS We identified 4 trajectories of postoperative pain that were not evident from a cohort-level mean, which has been a common way of reporting pain level. This study provides key information about the patient experience and indicates the need to understand variation among sites and surgeons and to investigate determinants of different experience and interventions to mitigate persistently high pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the steady improvements in survival and operative safety, postoperative complications still remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, less is known on the impact of postoperative complications on health-related quality of life (QoL). The main objective of our study was to investigate the impact of postoperative complications on long-term QoL and survival after CABG surgery. METHODS Data of 508 patients, who underwent isolated CABG was prospectively collected. The RAND-36 Health Survey (RAND-36) was used to evaluate patients' QoL status preoperatively, 1 year and 12 years after the surgery. Predefined postoperative complications were reported during primary and secondary hospital stay. QoL and survival analysis were performed primarily on three patient groups: patients with and without complications and patients with major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). RESULTS In total 205(40%) of 508 patients had at least one postoperative complication and 73 (14%) experienced MACCE. Patients' thirty-day, 1-year and 10-year survival rates were, 99, 98, 84% without complications, 97, 95, 72% with complications, and 90, 89, 64% with MACCE, respectively (log-rank p < 0.001). Patients without complications showed significant(p < 0.05) improvements in seven and patients with complications in five out of eight RAND-36 QoL dimensions. All patient groups showed significant improvements in RAND-36 summary scores compared with preoperative values. Patients with complications and especially with MACCE had more profound decline in their RAND-36 summary scores while patients without complications maintained their health status best. CONCLUSIONS Despite the constant deterioration, both patients with and without complications showed improvements even 12 years after CABG compared with preoperative state. Postoperative complications and especially MACCE were associated with impaired long-term QoL.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To describe the care provided to patients admitted into a community Nursing-Led inpatient unit and to identify factors predicting a length of stay exceeding an established threshold. BACKGROUND Few studies have been conducted to describe the care provided in a Nursing-Led unit. No studies have investigated factors affecting length of stay in these services. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Consecutive patients admitted to a community Nursing-Led unit between 2009-2015 were enrolled. Sociodemographic, medical and nursing care (diagnoses and activities) variables were collected from electronic health records. Descriptive analysis and a backward stepwise logistic regression model were applied. The study followed the STROBE guidelines. RESULTS The study enrolled 904 patients (mean age: 77.7 years). The most frequent nursing diagnoses were bathing self-care deficit and impaired physical mobility. The nursing activities most provided were enteral medication administration and vital signs measurement. Approximately 37% of the patients had a length of stay longer than the established threshold. Nine covariates, including being discharged to home, having an impaired memory nursing diagnosis or being treated for advanced wound care, were found to be independent predictors of prolonged length of stay. Variables related to medical conditions did not affect the length-of-stay threshold. CONCLUSIONS The length of stay in the community Nursing-Led unit was mainly predicted by conditions related to sociodemographic factors, nursing complexity and functional status. This result confirms that the medical and nursing needs of a community Nursing-Led unit population substantively differ from those of hospitalised acute patients. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The nursing complexity and related nursing care to be provided may be adopted as a criterion to establish the appropriate length of stay in the community Nursing-Led unit for each individual patient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Improving postoperative patient recovery after cardiac surgery is a priority, but our current understanding of individual variations in recovery and factors associated with poor recovery is limited. We are using a health-information exchange platform to collect patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and wearable device data to phenotype recovery patterns in the 30-day period after cardiac surgery hospital discharge, to identify factors associated with these phenotypes and to investigate phenotype associations with clinical outcomes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We designed a prospective cohort study to enrol 200 patients undergoing valve, coronary artery bypass graft or aortic surgery at a tertiary centre in the USA. We are enrolling patients postoperatively after the intensive care unit discharge and delivering electronic surveys directly to patients every 3 days for 30 days after hospital discharge. We will conduct medical record reviews to collect patient demographics, comorbidity, operative details and hospital course using the Society of Thoracic Surgeons data definitions. We will use phone interview and medical record review data for adjudication of survival, readmission and complications. We will apply group-based trajectory modelling to the time-series PROM and device data to classify patients into distinct categories of recovery trajectories. We will evaluate whether certain recovery pattern predicts death or hospital readmissions, as well as whether clinical factors predict a patient having poor recovery trajectories. We will evaluate whether early recovery patterns predict the overall trajectory at the patient-level. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The Yale Institutional Review Board approved this study. Following the description of the study procedure, we obtain written informed consent from all study participants. The consent form states that all personal information, survey response and any medical records are confidential, will not be shared and are stored in an encrypted database. We plan to publish our study findings in peer-reviewed journals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate whether cerebral oxygen desaturations during thoracic surgery are predictive of patients' quality of recovery. As a secondary aim, the authors investigated the relationship among cerebral desaturations and postoperative delirium and hospital length of stay. DESIGN This study was a prospective observational cohort study. SETTING A single tertiary-care medical center from September 2012 through March 2014. PATIENTS Adult patients scheduled for elective pulmonary surgery requiring one-lung ventilation. INTERVENTIONS All patients were monitored with the ForeSight cerebral oximeter. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary assessment tool was the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale. Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method. Of the 117 patients analyzed in the study, 60 of the patients desaturated below a cerebral oximetry level of 65% for a minimum of 3 minutes (51.3%). Patients who desaturated were significantly less likely to have cognitive recovery in the immediate postoperative period (p = 0.012), which did not persist in the postoperative period beyond day 0. Patients who desaturated also were more likely to have delirium (p = 0.048, odds ratio 2.81 [95% CI 1.01-7.79]) and longer length of stay (relative duration 1.35, 95% CI 1.05-1.73; p = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative cerebral oxygen desaturations, frequent during one-lung ventilation, are associated significantly with worse early cognitive recovery, high risk of postoperative delirium, and prolonged length of stay. Large interventional studies on cerebral oximetry in the thoracic operating room are warranted.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Objectives: Prolonged admissions to an ICU are associated with high resource utilization and personal cost to the patient. Previous reports suggest increasing length of stay may be associated with poor outcomes. Conditional survival represents the probability of future survival after a defined period of treatment on an ICU providing a description of how prognosis evolves over time. Our objective was to describe conditional survival as length of ICU stay increased. Design: Retrospective observational cohort study of three large intensive care databases. Setting: Three intensive care databases, two in the United States (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III and electronic ICU) and one in United Kingdom (Post Intensive Care Risk-Adjusted Alerting and Monitoring). Patients: Index admissions to intensive care for patients 18 years or older. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: A total of 11,648, 38,532, and 165,125 index admissions were analyzed from Post Intensive Care Risk-Adjusted Alerting and Monitoring, Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III and electronic ICU databases respectively. In all three cohorts, conditional survival declined over the first 5–10 days after ICU admission and changed little thereafter. In patients greater than or equal to 75 years old conditional survival continued to decline with increasing length of stay. Conclusions: After an initial period of 5–10 days, probability of future survival does not decrease with increasing length of stay in unselected patients admitted to ICUs. These findings were consistent between the three populations and suggest that a prolonged admission to an ICU is not a reason for a pessimism in younger patients but may indicate a poor prognosis in the older population.

Abstract
Accountability, involvement, empowerment of the patients and families/caregiver, as well as the incentive for health behaviors based on physical exercise and healthy living habits with the support of health professionals, are fundamental in meeting the demands of the current society. The main objective of this report is to describe the process of developing skills in rehabilitation nursing that was possible in the context of the final stage in which an intervention program in the area of cardiac rehabilitation was designed, implemented and evaluated. In this quantitative study with exploratory characteristics, it was used the collection of observable and quantifiable data, from patients submitted to coronary artery bypass grafting. During the study, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied-being verified the normal distribution-and Student t-test, which aimed at comparing outcomes at the beginning and end of the program. When 6-min walk test was applied, there was an optimization of functional capacity (P=0.05), can be proved by the fact that all the patients had statistically significant improvements in the time-walk relationship. Furthermore, the quality of life in those who participated in the program was moderate in the preoperative period with 53.09%, and at the end a significant improvement was observed with 75.02%. Cardiac rehabilitation is fundamental in the patient submitted to coronary artery bypass grafting, taking into account the educational, physical exercise, and quality of life dimensions. Given the prevalence of risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease, differentiated intervention in rehabilitation nursing becomes essential in the training of patients for self-care.

Abstract
Background Improving postoperative recovery is important, with a national focus on postacute care, but the volume and quality of evidence in this area are not well characterized. We conducted a systematic review to characterize studies on postoperative recovery after adult cardiac surgery using patient‐reported outcome measures. Methods and Results From MEDLINE and Web of Science, studies were included if they prospectively assessed postoperative recovery on adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery using patient‐reported outcome measures. Six recovery domains were defined by prior literature: nociceptive symptoms, mental health, physical function, activities of daily living, sleep, and cognitive function. Of the 3432 studies, 105 articles met the inclusion criteria. The studies were small (median sample size, 119), and mostly conducted in single‐center settings (n=81; 77%). Study participants were predominantly men (71%) and white (88%). Coronary artery bypass graft was included in 93% (n=98). Studies commonly selected for elective cases (n=56; 53%) and patients with less comorbidity (n=67; 64%). Median follow‐up duration was 91 (interquartile range, 42–182) days. Studies most commonly assessed 1 domain (n=42; 40%). The studies also varied in the instruments used and differed in their reporting approach. Studies commonly excluded patients who died during the follow‐up period (n=48; 46%), and 45% (n=47) did not specify how those patients were analyzed. Conclusions Studies of postoperative patient‐reported outcome measures are low in volume, most often single site without external validation, varied in their approach to missing data, and narrow in the domains and diversity of patients. The evidence base for postoperative patient‐reported outcome measures needs to be strengthened.
