Abstract

The result of the research shows that after open heart surgery by the gauge packing beneath operation wound the highest amount of bleeding from the chest drain after the first hour was 34.67 milliliters (SD = 34.02). And the total amount of bleeding in the first 8 hours after surgery was 142.17 milliliters (SD = 90.59). Average total bleeding in 24 hours after surgery was 241.83 milliliters (SD = 133.70). The most commonly received types of blood are 2 units of fresh freshen plasma. Average total cost 559,824.18 Baht (SD = 68,490.16). The average length of stay was 6 days (SD = 1.34). There was no 100% postoperative wound infection in the 7 and 14 days, and 100% had no re-surgery. The research findings suggest that a gauge packing beneath operation wound in patients with open heart surgery is a method of preventing bleeding after open heart surgery.
