Morning or Afternoon Scheduling for Elective Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery : Influence of Longer Fasting Periods from Metabolic and Hemodynamic Perspectives

BACKGROUND: Prolonged preoperative fasting may worsen postoperative outcomes. Cardiac surgery has higher perioperative risk, and longer fasting periods may be not well-tolerated. We analysed the postoperative metabolic and hemodynamic variables in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) according to their morning or afternoon schedule.

METHODS: Single-centre retrospective study at University teaching hospital (1-year data collection from electronic medical records). Using a mixed-effects linear regression model adjusted for several covariates, we compared metabolic (lactatemia, pH, and base deficit [BD]) and haemodynamic values (patients on vasoactive support, and vasoactive inotropic score [VIS]) at 7 prespecified time-points (admission to intensive care, and 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th, 18th, and 24th postoperative hours).

RESULTS: 339 patients (n = 176 morning, n = 163 afternoon) were included. Arterial lactatemia and BD were similar (overall P = 0.11 and P = 0.84, respectively), while pH was significantly lower in the morning group (overall P < 0.05; mean difference -0.01). Postoperative urine output, fluid balance, mean arterial pressure, and central venous pressure were similar (P = 0.59, P = 0.96, P = 0.58 and P = 0.53, respectively). A subgroup analysis of patients with diabetes (n = 54 morning, n = 45 afternoon) confirmed the same findings. The VIS values and the proportion of patients on vasoactive support was higher in the morning cases at the 18th (P = 0.002 and p=0.04, respectively) and 24th postoperative hours (P = 0.003 and P = 0.04, respectively). Mean intensive care length of stay was 1.94 ± 1.36 days versus 2.48 ± 2.72 days for the afternoon and morning cases, respectively (P = 0.02).

CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing elective CABG showed similar or better metabolic and hemodynamic profiles when scheduled for afternoon surgery.
