The Effects of Using Pathological- Based Guidelines for Arterial Blood Gas Analysis in Patients Aftercardiac Surgery

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Blood Gas Analysis
• Interventions: Other: Control; Other: Guideline

• Registration Number: NCT02516943
• Lead Sponsor: Mahidol University

Brief Summary

Blood gas analysis were routinely monitor every 4 hours in our surgical cardiac intensive care unit (SICU). These luxury investigations waste the resources. Therefore we develop a pathological- based guideline for arterial blood gas analysis in patients after cardiac surgery. We test the guideline for its safety and efficacy.
