Preoperative cardiac evaluation for elective noncardiac surgery.
We reviewed the approach to preoperative cardiac risk assessment, incorporating new information regarding the pathophysiologic features of perioperative myocardial ischemia and recent clinical trials. Relevant articles were identified from a MEDLINE search, followed by bibliography review of the articles identified. The multifactorial risk indexes are valuable in stratifying risks among unselec...
متن کاملCardiac risk of noncardiac surgery.
Major perioperative cardiac events are estimated to complicate between 1.4% and 3.9% of surgeries. Because most surgeries are elective, there is the opportunity to implement strategies to reduce this risk. Accurate identification of patients at risk for such events will allow patients to be better informed about the benefit-to-risk ratio of procedures, and guide allotment of limited clinical re...
متن کاملPreoperative testing before noncardiac surgery: guidelines and recommendations.

These investigations can be helpful to stratify risk, direct anesthetic choices, and guide postoperative management, but often are obtained because of protocol rather than medical necessity. The decision to order preoperative tests should be guided b...
متن کامل[Evaluating cardiac risk in noncardiac surgery].
In the United States, more than 33 million patients undergo noncardiac surgery each year, at a cost of 450 000 million dollars per year. Approximately 4% of these patients present perioperative complications, at an additional cost of 25 000 million dollars per year.1 The number of cardiovascular complications arising from non-cardiac surgery exceeds 1 million patients worldwide.2 Due to the inc...
متن کاملCardiac risk in noncardiac surgery: an update.
T he preoperative evaluation and management of the patient potentially at risk for cardiac complications of noncardiac surgery require the collaborative efforts of the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and medical physician. Each brings a somewhat different perspective and expertise to the problem, and ideal decisions are possible only if all work together in a collaborative, mutually respectful manne...
