| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Post-operative pulmonary complications. If pulmonary complications increased or decreased. The complications considered in this study will be: pneumonia, considered by chest radiography where there is persistent alveolar infiltrate, progressive or consolidation associated with fever (axillary temperature above 37.8 °c), leukopenia (< 4000 LEUC/MM3) or leukocytosis, changes in the aspect of the tracheal secretion (emergence of purulent secretion), wheezing, snoring in the pulmonary auscultation and worsening of the gas exchange. Atelectasis evidenced by chest radiography and presence of crackling rales or wheezing. Pleural effusion and pneumothorax, detected by chest radiography; Pulmonary hemorrhage defined by alveolar infiltrate on chest x-rays, decrease in hemoglobin rates and bronchoalveolar haemorrhagic lavage and Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), characterized by bilateral pulmonary infiltrate at Chest radiography, compatible with pulmonary edema, severe hypoxemia, defined as PaO2/FIO2 ratio < 200. These complications will be evaluated through chest X-ray exams. | — |

|---|---|
| It is expected to verify a reduction in the reintubation rate in hours, being analyzed from the number of hours the patient will be on mechanical ventilation, from when it is coupled to mechanical ventilation until its exit.;We want to analyze the length of stay of patients in days in the intensive care unit, this will be observed by the number of days the patient is hospitalized in the ICU. ;We will see in this study the increase or decrease in ICU mortality in percentage and increase or decrease in hospital mortality in percentage. We intend to analyze this by Euroscore and STS Risk, both scores used to verify the mortality and morbidity and mortality of cardiac surgery patients, analyzed in the preoperative period of these patients. | — |
