Objective: In this study, the relationship between the duration of intensive care unit stay, hospital stay, and intubation period between nonventilated and continuously ventilated groups of patients who underwent surgery with a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) device was investigated. Methods: In the study, we divided patients into two groups. Continuously ventilated during CPB group and non-ventilated group. In the continuously ventilated group, respiratory rate was 6 per minute, tidal volume was 6 ml/kg and FiO2 was 50%. In the non-ventilated group, the lungs were completely removed from the ventilator after the cross-clamp was placed. Results: Although the duration of intensive care unit stays, length of hospital stay, and intubation times were relatively short in the continuously ventilated group, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: There is a need for studies with a larger number of patients and subgroups regarding the maintenance of continuous ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass.
