Diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for pulmonary complications after coronary bypass surgery

Abstract: Patients with undiagnosed and insulin-treated diabetes have a higher risk of having pulmonary complications in the perioperative course of coronary bypass operations than do nondiabetic patients. These results may be explained if one considers the lung as another target organ of the diabetic disease.

“…The impact of DM on post-operative respiratory insufficiency arises most probably both from the direct influence of DM on respiratory function and the indirect systemic pathway (21). Lauruschat et al also reported a higher incidence of pulmonary complications in diabetic patients after CABG (34). In our study, the prolonged need for mechanical ventilation due to respiratory insufficiency in diabetics may be one reason for prolonged ICU-stay.…”

“…Some earlier studies had reported that DM was associated with a higher risk for complications in various types of surgery, such as coronary bypass 23 and bariatric surgery. 24 However, few studies have assessed DM and urological surgeries.…”

“…It is reported that older age, smoking, obesity, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypercapnia, hypoproteinemia, prolonged duration of CPB, postoperative bacteremia, postoperative endocarditis, postoperative gastrointestinal hemorrhage with or without perforation, postoperative acute kidney injury, sternal infection, postoperative cerebral vascular accident and reoperation for bleeding increased the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications 16, 17. This study revealed that independent risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications included older age (>65 years), preoperative congestive heart failure, low preoperative PaO 2 , prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass, intra-operative phrenic nerve injury, and postoperative acute kidney injury.…”
