  • Title: Fast Track recovery after aortocoronary bypass surgery: early extubation and intensive care unit transfer.
    Author: Jesurum JT, Alexander WA, Anderson JJ, Houston S.
    Journal: Semin Perioper Nurs; 1996 Jan; 5(1):12-22. PubMed ID: 8696284.
    Abstract:
    Fast Track is a practical method of delivering care to aortocoronary bypass (ACB) patients with minimal risks to the patients or their care providers. A prospective study designed by an interdisciplinary practice team will evaluate the effects of an accelerated recovery program on clinical and financial outcomes of ACB patients. Essential components of the accelerated recovery program include early extubation, accelerated activity, and appropriate patient selection. Preliminary results on early extubation are discussed.
