The Impact of Postoperative Mechanical Ventilation Duration on Visual and Auditory Hallucinations After Cardiac Surgery: Insights from the VAACS Study.
Objectives: To determine whether postoperative mechanical ventilation duration is associated with the risk and timing of visual and auditory hallucinations after adult cardiac surgery.
Design: Prospective multicenter cohort study.
Setting: Ten major cardiac surgery centers in the West Bank, Palestine.
Participants: A total of 1,332 adults undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting or valve surgery, stratified by postoperative ventilation duration: ≤6 hours or >6 hours.
Interventions: No experimental intervention was performed; patients were grouped by early versus delayed postoperative extubation.
Measurements and main results: Visual and auditory hallucinations were assessed during the first 7 postoperative days using the Questionnaire for Psychotic Experiences. Cox regression and restricted mean survival time analyses evaluated associations between ventilation duration and hallucination outcomes. Delayed extubation (>6 hours) was associated with lower overall adjusted risk of visual hallucinations (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.70; 95% confidence interval, 0.62-0.80; p < .001) and auditory hallucinations (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.49; 95% confidence interval, 0.31-0.77; p = .002). However, time-varying analysis showed increased immediate postoperative hazard in the delayed-extubation group, with risk declining rapidly over time. Restricted mean survival time analysis showed that auditory hallucination-free time was approximately 0.24 days shorter in patients with delayed extubation (p < .001). Preoperative white blood cell count was the most consistent predictor.
Conclusion: Delayed postoperative extubation was associated with lower overall 7-day hallucination risk but higher immediate postoperative vulnerability, suggesting that the early postextubation period may represent a critical window for targeted monitoring and preventive neuropsychiatric care after cardiac surgery.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia is primarily aimed at anesthesiologists who deal with patients undergoing cardiac, thoracic or vascular surgical procedures. JCVA features a multidisciplinary approach, with contributions from cardiac, vascular and thoracic surgeons, cardiologists, and other related specialists. Emphasis is placed on rapid publication of clinically relevant material.
