Abstract: (35 Views)
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with the help of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can cause complications for the lungs after the operation. A 62-year-old woman was reported to have a positive COVID-19 test; however, due to her cardiac conditions, she was scheduled for an emergency CABG surgery. The patient was experiencing symptoms of chest pain and dyspnea, and her pulmonary artery systolic pressure was 45 mmHg. Considering that the patient would be undergoing surgery with CPB, a ventilation strategy was planned to reduce the risk of pulmonary complications during the procedure. The patient recovered well without any specific pulmonary complications after the surgery. It seems that patients with positive COVID-19 are at risk of pulmonary complications. Therefore, a ventilation strategy during the procedure can significantly reduce the risk of pulmonary complications and their consequences after the surgery.
