Abstract
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery continues to be an effective and well-used intervention for coronary artery disease. Older patients and those with sicker hearts will become the norm. In spite of increased risk for patients undergoing CABG, overall mortality rates have decreased. Nursing contributions to these improved outcomes cannot be overestimated. Continued understanding and appreciation of these complications will be necessary to effectively care for patients and create optimal outcomes.
