Online published on 1 November, 2018. Abstract Cardiac surgery is a Common way to treat diseases of coronary artery and valves disease. Weaning from mechanical ventilation and extubationof endotracheal tube usually proceed directly. Objective(s): to assess the postoperative risk Factors of surgical cardiac patients'which leading to prolonged mechanical ventilation. To identify the relationships between duration of intubation of mechanical ventilation and postoperative risk factors. Retrospective study design was conducted to determine the postoperative risk factors that leading to prolonged mechanical ventilation for surgical cardiac patients’ at south Iraq cardiac centers. The study was carried out during the period extended from 21 March 2018 to 31 June, 2018 A non-probability sample of 100 adults patients records who stayed on prolonged mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery admitted in thi qar center for heart diseases. The result of postoperative risk factors for (100) patients Indicated that the (66%) of the sample were at Simv mode in related to ventilator modes. According to the perioperative IABP requirement the table indicated that the (10%) of the patients need to IABP. Significant relationship between the duration of stay on mechanical ventilation with, quantity of bleeding, reoperation for bleeding, reintubation, ventricular arrhythmia, stroke and infection level significantly less or equal. 0.05.
