OPTIMAL TIMING AND ROUTE OF AMIODARONE FOR PREVENTION OF POST OPERATIVE ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AFTER CARDIAC SURGERY -A NETWORK REGRESSION META-ANALYSIS

Abstract

There is no conclusive agreement on the optimal route or timing of peri-operative amiodarone administration for prevention of post operative atrial fibrillation(POAF). We attempted to evaluate if an oral only regimen was as effective in preventing POAF after cardiac surgery, in comparison to a
