Summary

After cardiac surgery patients are transported from the operating room (OR) to the intensive care unit (ICU) while intubated. Two principal methods of oxygenation and ventilation are used: (1) a transport ventilator or (2) a Mapleson Bag-Mask hand ventilating circuit. The choice of method is largely determined by the preference of the the anesthesiologist who is transporting the patient. The investigators postulate that the choice of either method might alter respiratory and hemodynamic parameters felt to be important for the immediate management of post-cardiac surgery patients. The investigators will prospectively record end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) (primary end-point) and change in minute volume, heart rate (HR), Blood pressure (BP), pulmonary artery (PA) pressures and cardiac output during transportation and upon arrival in the ICU. All of these variables are measured routinely but are not recorded. The investigators will compare patients transported with a ventilator to patients transported with a Mapleson circuit.
