RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Identify risk factors that determine pneumonia development in patients who have undergone cardiac surgery. METHODS: Prospective study of a single cohort in a postoperative intensive care unit at a tertiary care center, encompassing all patients undergoing cardiac surgery from January to July 2014. RESULTS: 31 postoperative pneumonia cases were enrolled out of 211 patients (14.6%). The following independent risk factors were identified: hypertension (OR: 3.94, p=0.01), chronic renal failure (OR: 13.67, p=0.02), reintubation (OR: 22.29, p=0.001) and extubation after 6h (OR: 15.81, p=0.005). CONCLUSIONS: Main determinants for pneumonia after surgery were hypertension, chronic renal failure, extubation after 6h and reintubation.

Resumen Objetivo Identificar los factores de riesgo para desarrollar neumonía en el periodo postquirúrgico de pacientes sometidos a cirugía cardiaca. Método Estudio de cohorte prospectiva que incluye pacientes > 18 años sometidos a cirugía cardiaca de enero a julio de 2014, en el Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez, México D.F. Se considera un valor de p < 0.05 como significativo. Resultados De un total de 211 pacientes operados, se diagnosticaron 31 casos de neumonía postquirúrgica (14.6%). Se identificaron los siguientes factores de riesgo independientes para desarrollar neumonía: la hipertensión arterial sistémica (OR: 3.94, p = 0.01), el antecedente de insuficiencia renal crónica (OR: 13.67, p = 0.02). La reintubación (OR: 22.29, p = 0.001) y permanecer intubado por más de 6 horas (OR: 15.81, p = 0.005). Conclusiones Los principales factores de riesgo independientes para desarrollar neumonía en el periodo postquirúrgico son la preexistencia de hipertensión arterial sistémica o insuficiencia renal crónica, la reintubación y permanecer intubado durante más de 6 h.
