Intraoperative Remifentanil Use Reduces Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Operative time did not affect postoperative atrial fibrillation. Age and left atrial diameter had previously been shown to affect postoperative atrial fibrillation, and our results were similar. This study showed that the use of remifentanil reduced the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation. On the other hand, no other factors were found to have an effect.
