Description
Background
Problem Statement: Manual ventilation with AMBU bag is utilized mostly for transporting post cardiac surgery patients to the intensive care unit, but some patients need mechanical ventilation due to concern for oxygenation, ventilation, and cardiac function.
Also, transport can be a critical moment because of limited hemodynamic information and suboptimal environment for therapeutic intervention.
Thus, risk stratification for appropriate ventilation is necessary for safe transport. •
Project AIM: We assessed biventricular function (with a hand-held echocardiography), arterial blood gas, and hemodynamics pre and post transport in manual and mechanical ventilation groups.
