- Postoperative atrial fibrillation is a very common surgical complication encountered in patients undergoing Cardiac Surgery including Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Valvular Surgeries, which leads to increase hospital stay and burden on health care providers. The aim of this review study was to to determine the effectiveness of current management for the Prophylaxis of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Cardiac Surgeries and to propose a possible prophylaxis to prevent POAF. 21 research papers were selected and brought under review after carefully considering the current day evidence for prophylaxis and each having its scientific evidence and background. The papers were carefully reviewed and findings were given in favour of Amiodarone, Ascorbate and B-Blockers including Sotalol. This can rightly be concluded from this study that prophylaxis with Ascorbate for 5 days prior to cardiac surgery along with the use of Amiodarone 1.2 g before surgery and 600 mg/day till 3rd post op day and protocol for B-Blockers will significantly reduce POAF. Also POAF is a clinical complication which needs further studies and research to evaluate the effectiveness of the current management for its prevention.
