Patients who undergo primary CABG surgery via midline sternotomy will be screened between February 2019 and February 2022.

Exclusion Criteria

The following patients will be excluded:

1. Time-critical salvage CABG (e.g., patients admitted with out-of-hospital arrest in cardiogenic shock requiring emergency CABG)
2. Patients undergoing CABG combined with valve surgery
3. Patients undergoing CABG combined with surgery on the aorta,

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Total mechanical ventilation time in hours adjusted for the hospital, body mass index, category of surgical urgency, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE II). This will be collected from the electronic medical records[Total mechanical ventilation time will be calculated from completion of surgery to tracheal extubation in the intensive care unit.]
