“…A reduction in laboratory blood tests was also reported by others (11,27,29). As in our study, the early transfer to a lower level of care resulted in cost-savings (11), as 1 hr of IC stay is twice as expensive as 1 hr of MC stay (IC, €45; MC, €21).…”

“…Caring for the coronary artery bypass patient has undergone significant changes. One of the most dramatic changes in the process of care in the last decade is the initiation of fast-track cardiac surgery protocols [1][2][3][4]. This concept was developed following non-health care industry efficiency models in an attempt to streamline patient care, decrease the use of resources, and decrease costs.…”

There was an increase in respiratory failure after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) at Baptist Heart Institute during the first three quarters of 2000. Thirteen percent of patients required ventilation over 24 hours. The reintubation rate after initial extubation was 18.3% and the mortality rate in the group was 19.7%. After instituting an advanced care team during the first three quarters of 2002, the prolonged ventilation requirement was 7%, reintubation was 4.2%, and the mortality rate 15.4%. These results suggest that an advanced care team could improve clinical outcome and reduce health care costs.

“…Several studies did not use stabilizers in all patients and, in many of them the equipment is re-usable [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . The criteria for these procedures have not been discussed in depth; however, to ensure our patients' safety, especially those in whom the procedure involved the revascularization of latero-posterior wall of the left ventricle, the use of stabilizer was considered mandatory for all the patients in this group.…”

“…In fact, there was a perspective that, with the decrease in the adverse events caused by the MRS with ECC (SECC), the duration of the operating room stay, ICU stay, with shorter orotracheal intubation time 12 and shorter hospital stay duration, the direct and indirect costs would also markedly decrease. Additionally, this gain related to the hospital costs can directly contribute to the clinical and quality of life improvement of the patients.…”
