Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a high-risk surgery with significant morbidity that results in a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) at an increased cost. Early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) using the FloTrac/EV1000 platform improved outcomes in these patients with shorter ICU stay but with extra cost for a FloTrac transducer. The objective of this study is to assess the cost-effectiveness of implementing the FloTrac/EV1000 in these patients.
