What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the differences in perioperative factors between female and male patients undergoing cardiac surgery. It will analyze various parameters such as body weight adaptation, medical history, pharmacokinetics, and outcomes related to morbidity and mortality at short-term and long-term intervals. The study seeks to establish a database of these perioperative parameters to identify factors that may adversely affect recovery in females, with the goal of improving their surgical outcomes. By focusing on sex-specific differences, the research aims to enhance perioperative care pathways tailored for female patients.
