This study aims to critically present the adult intensive care unit and care after cardiac surgery. It is known that cardiac surgeries are major surgeries spread worldwide, among them, mainly, myocardial revascularization (CABG) and valve replacements. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery undergo a series of preoperative exams and tests, so that there are no surprises and complications. The procedure has high morbidity and complications related to the preoperative situation and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) used during the operation, making it necessary for patients undergoing these procedures to be well prepared hemodynamically and psychologically for the postoperative period.
