Guidelines for pre-operative cardiac risk assessment and perioperative management in non-cardiac surgery.
Adverse cardiac events are common after vascular surgery. We hypothesized that perioperative statin therapy would improve postoperative outcomes.In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we randomly assigned patients who had not previously been treated with a to receive, in addition beta-blocker, either 80 mg of extended-release fluvastatin or placebo once daily before undergoing Lipid, interleukin-6, and C-reactive protein levels were measured at the time randomization The primary end...
Obesity is generally believed to be a risk factor for the development of postoperative complications. Although being obese associated with medical hazards, recent literature shows no convincing data support this assumption. Moreover paradox between body mass index and survival described. This study was designed determine influence on complications long-term after surgery.A single-centre prospective analysis in 4293 patients undergoing general surgery conducted, median follow-up time 6.3...
Ultrasonographic measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is known to be an accurate monitor elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). However, it yet unknown whether fluctuations in ICP result direct changes ONSD. Therefore, authors researched ONSD and simultaneously change during tracheal manipulation patients intensive care unit (ICU) who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI).The included 18 ICP-monitored had sustained TBI were admitted ICU. They examined by performing...
Background The prognostic value of heart failure symptoms on postoperative outcome is well acknowledged in perioperative guidelines. asymptomatic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction remains unknown. This study evaluated the implications LV vascular surgery patients assessed with routine echocardiography. Methods Echocardiography was performed preoperatively 1,005 consecutive patients. Systolic defined as ejection fraction less than 50%. Ratio mitral-peak velocity during early and late filling,...
beta-Blocker use is associated with improved health outcomes in patients cardiovascular disease. There a general reluctance to prescribe beta-blockers chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) because they may worsen symptoms.We investigated the relationship between cardioselective and mortality COPD undergoing major vascular surgery.We evaluated 3,371 consecutive who underwent surgery at one academic institution 1990 2006. The were divided into those without on basis of symptoms...
Abstract Background Aneurysm shrinkage has been proposed as a marker of successful endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Patients with early postoperative may experience fewer subsequent complications, and consequently require less intensive surveillance. Methods undergoing EVAR from 2000 to 2011 at three vascular centres (in 2 countries), who had two imaging examinations (postoperative after 6–18 months), were included. Maximum diameter, complications secondary interventions during follow-up...
