Background and objectives:A large number of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery are diabetic patients who have a worse prognosis than non-diabetic patients in the face of treatment intervention. postoperative duration of intubation is one of the important factors in accelerating the patient's recovery process, but it cannot be conclusively expressed about the duration of intubation in diabetic patients.The present study aimed to compare the duration of intubation in diabetic and non-diabetic patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery in one of the centers of specialization in the heart of the Guilan University of Medical Sciences in Rasht.Materials and methods:This is a retrospective study that examined two groups of 356 diabetic and non-diabetic patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.The data were collected using patients' medical records and was performed using Chi-square, independent t-test, Mann-Whitney and logistic regression tests.Results:The Results showed the mean of the duration of intubation in the diabetic group was 9/60±2/71 and in the non-diabetic group was 10/05±6/29.Based on Chi-square test, history of smoking, history of hypertension,high blood glucose during cardiopulmonary bypass, and according to the Mann-Whitney U arterial oxygen saturation test entering the operating room was significantly different between the two groups.Predictive variables of the duration of intubation in diabetic patients based on logistic regression model include smoking history, receiving anesthesia, body mass index below 25, and range from 25 to 29.9.Conclusion:The duration of intubation in non-diabetic patients was not different from that of diabetic patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
