The study is aimed to compare clinical superiority of ultra fast-track versus conventional early postoperative extubation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery in our center. The estimated sample size is 382 patients. They will be randomized 1:1 to any of the two arms of the study (ultra fast-track vs. fast-track). The randomization will be stratified according the type of surgery performed. The period of recruitment will start in January 2023 and is supposed to finish by December 2024 or earlier. The main outcomes of the study will be measured 1 year after the procedure.
Single center randomized clinical trial. The main aim is to demonstrate the superiority at the clinical level of the ultra fast-track programs versus conventional early postoperative extubation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
