Effect of Perioperative Nicorandil on Myocardial Protection in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass, a Retrospective Study
This retrospective study evaluates the myocardial protective effects of perioperative Nicorandil (NICD) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Analyzing data from 2406 patients, the study found that NICD significantly reduced the incidence of myocardial injury and postoperative acute liver injury (ALI), and shortened the duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU and hospital length of stay, and chest drainage. These findings suggest that NICD can offer substantial myocardial protection and improve postoperative outcomes in cardiac surgery patients.
