Multifactorial index of cardiac risk in noncardiac surgical procedures.

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1977
To determine which preoperative factors might affect the development of cardiac complications after major noncardiac operations, we prospectively studied 1001 patients over 40 years of age. By multivariate discriminant analysis, we identified nine independent significant correlates of life-threatening and fatal cardiac complications: preoperative third

Combined cardiac surgical procedures in octogenarians: operative outcome [PDF]

Clinical Research in Cardiology, 2008
The number of patients with an indication for cardiac surgery in their ninth decade of life is increasing. This study analyses the single-center results with combined and redo cardiac surgical procedures in octogenarians retrospectively.Three groups were evaluated: (I) Two hundred and thirty six patients with combined cardiac surgical procedures, mean ...

Predictors of ARF after cardiac surgical procedures.

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2003
In a pilot study, a low preoperative serum ferritin level predicted increased risk for acute renal failure (ARF) after cardiopulmonary bypass. It was hypothesized that this may reflect a decreased ability to bind free iron and defend against oxidative stress. However, the pilot study was performed in a small number of patients (n = 30) operated on by a

Acute adrenal insufficiency following cardiac surgical procedures.

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1979
Five of 4,364 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures at this hospital from 1974 to 1978 have experienced bizarre and confusing postoperative courses, ultimately shown to be caused by acute adrenal insufficiency. Four were men and the age range was 53 to 73 years.

A Risk-Benefit Assessment of Aprotinin in Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Drug Safety, 1998
Aprotinin, a naturally occurring serine protease inhibitor, has found widespread application during cardiac surgical procedures as a consequence of its ability to decrease blood loss and transfusion requirements. While its efficacy in a variety of clinical situations associated with increased risk of blood loss has been well established, at the same ...

Cardiac risk in noncardiac surgical procedures.

Archives of internal medicine, 1987
To the Editor. —In the November 1986 issue of theArchives, Detsky et al 1 presented a modified version of the index of Goldman et al 2 of cardiac risk in noncardiac surgical procedures. In both these studies, a multifactorial risk index is derived using stepwise linear discriminant analysis.

Nursing Responsibility Levek for Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 1990
Nursing liability is an issue discussed regularly by both critical care staff nurses and nursing managers. Questions frequently arise regarding practice within the "gray area" of critical care. The high level of patient acuity often necessitates an expanded nursing role.

Current Evidence and Future Directions of Tranexamic Acid Use, Efficacy, and Dosing for Major Surgical Procedures.

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2020
Tranexamic acid reduces blood loss and transfusion requirements with no significant thrombotic adverse effects. Postoperative seizures have been seen in cardiac surgical patients in association with patient (advanced age, underlying neurologic disease ...

Cardiac Risk in Noncardiac Surgical Procedures-Reply

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1987
—Hochman and Lumb have raised an important point concerning the stability of likelihood ratios across various surgical procedures. Likelihood ratios, like the related properties of sensitivity and specificity, are usually assumed to be stable across populations with different pretest probabilities.
