weeks and months later after discharge. However, this is not only an issue of mortality. In fact, the treatment of these patients is often dramatic for the patients themselves (owing to the physical and psychological suffering they are exposed to) for their relatives, who are exposed to a very stressful time, and for staff, due to hard work, and frustration after frequent failures in spite of their maximum efforts. In addition, patients subject to a prolonged postoperative stay may occupy the intensive care beds for many days, and need a high usage of supplies (blood and hemoderivates, drugs, mechanical ventilation, etc.) and the performance of procedures in excess (tracheostomy, intra-aortic balloon pump, etc.) which, besides affecting the rhythm of the operating theatre are turned into a cost that sometimes is equal to the cost for all other much more numerous patients with non complicated courses. Considering the heavy burden that of the long stay in intensive care still can have in clinical, organisational and economical decisions, it is reasonable to carry out researches aimed to compare already validated models to the purpose of checking the ones which are more accurate in predicting the prolongation of stay in intensive care. After identifying the models, it is desirable that they are spread to professional Societies in order to sensitise field operators’ awareness on the issue of proper intervention indications and on the opportunity of identifying those patients for whom an intervention is not to be recommended and to whom alternate treatment, medical or angioplasty, should be suggested.
