Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the post-operative results for defibrillator use, length of hospital stay, and ionotropic support in adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery in Del-Nido Cardioplegia. Cardiac enzymes and potassium levels are measured before and after surgery in adult cardiac surgery patients in order to look for arrhythmias. Study Design: Observational Cross-sectional study. Setting: Afridi Medical Complex, Peshawar. Period: October 2022 to March 2023. Methods: 50 Patients were selected randomly by using Non-Probability Convenient sampling method technique. Results: In our study the mean age of patients was (50.92 ±9.429). Cardiac enzyme level post-op after 24 hours (67.3540±23.21292). Potassium level post-op group (4.5590± .65033), and length of hospital stay (8.58±1.486). Post operative outcomes shows significant association p value <0.05. Conclusion: This study concluded that Del Nido Cardioplegia is an intented and brief arrest of heart function, especially in cardiopulmonary Bypass surgery. Better myocardial protection is provided by Del-Nido Cardioplegia and it is very safe and effective process. It Provide good post operative outcome as are available in different literature reviews preceding our study.
