Abstract 151: Outcomes Associated With Prophylactic Amiodarone Protocol in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Single Center Experience Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Implementation of an amiodarone prophylaxis protocol order care set was associated with greater utilization of amiodarone. It was also associated with a modest decrease in the incidence of STS-defined POAF, stroke and MI but was not associated with a change in 30-day mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Further studies are needed to study the cost-effectiveness and risk-benefit analysis of routine amiodarone as prophylaxis.
