Abstract

Results There were 47 COPD patients in 868 patients who underwent surgery for coronary artery disease. In addition, 490 patients were active smoker and 378 were not using tobacco products. Mean Intensive care unit stay for COPD patients was 4,81 day and 3,06 day for patients without COPD. This difference was significant (p < 0.05).There were 31 COPD patients in 268 patients who underwent surgery for peripheral arterial disease. In this group, 172 patients were active smoker and 96 were not smoking. Mean Intensive care unit stay for COPD patients was significantly longer in COPD group (p < 0.05).
