Myocardial ischemia--association with perioperative cardiac morbidity.
The development of ambulatory electrocardiographic recorders and analysers and the application of transesophageal echocardiography in the mid-1980's enabled investigators to quantify and describe the occurrence of silent as well as symptomatic ischemia in the perioperative period. Several technical advances which have recently occurred in ECG monitoring include the use of miniaturized digital c...
متن کاملNitrous oxide and perioperative cardiac morbidity (ENIGMA-II) Trial: rationale and design.
BACKGROUND Globally there are >200 million major surgical procedures undertaken annually, and about 20% of these involve patients who have coronary artery disease. Many receive nitrous oxide, which impairs methionine synthase, thus inhibiting folate synthesis and increasing postoperative homocysteine levels. Nitrous oxide anesthesia leads to postoperative endothelial dysfunction, and there is s...
متن کاملPerioperative Cardiac Arrests
Perioperative cardiac arrests represent the most serious complication of anesthesia and surgery. It is believed that the incidence and mortality of cardiac arrest has declined, however, a more recent review questioned whether these rates have changed over the last 5 decades. It is difficult to compare the reports from different epochs, because medical practice has advanced, surgical acuity incr...
متن کاملPerioperative cardiac arrhythmias.
Cardiac arrhythmias are a signi®cant cause of morbidity and mortality in the perioperative period. While literature on antiarrhythmic agent use in postoperative and non-surgical intensive care settings is expanding, randomized clinical trials examining the use of these agents in the perioperative period are scarce. Nonetheless, as our understanding of the relevant molecular targets for manipula...
متن کاملPerioperative cardiac risk reduction.
Cardiovascular complications are the most common cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality. Noninvasive stress testing is rarely helpful in assessing risk, and for most patients there is no evidence that coronary revascularization provides more protection against perioperative cardiovascular events than optimal medical management. Patients likely to benefit from perioperative beta blockade...
