Noncardiac surgery in the cardiac patient

American Heart Journal, 1988
As the population continues to age, more older patients present themselves for surgical procedures. Not uncommonly, these patients have considerable multiorgan dysfunction. Fundamental knowledge of predisposing risk is imperative for the optimal perioperative care of such patients.

Noncardiac surgery: Postoperative arrhythmias

Critical Care Medicine, 2000
Postoperative arrhythmias are common and represent a major source of morbidity after both cardiac and noncardiac surgical procedures. Postoperative dysrhythmias are most likely to occur in patients with structural heart disease. The initiating factor for an arrhythmia in a given patient after surgery is usually a transient insult, such as hypoxemia ...

Coronary risk of noncardiac surgery

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1991
ORONARY ARTERY disease is the number one cause of death in the United States, often progressing silently until severe disease is present. It is also one of the most frequent causes of death after noncardiac surgery. Therefore, risk stratification of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease should be performed at the time of presentation

Noncardiac Surgery

2023
Abstract Children with heart disease who undergo noncardiac surgery present substantial anesthetic risk. The incidence of congenital heart disease has been estimated as 6/1000. Related anesthetic risks include cardiac lesions, inpatient versus outpatient setting, type of surgery, surgical approach, and postoperative disposition.

Neurologic Complications in Noncardiac Surgery

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2006
In this article, the incidence of nervous system injuries associated with noncardiac surgery is reviewed briefly. In general, these can be divided into injuries that are clinically apparent (eg, stroke or peripheral nerve damage), which may generally be detectable on clinical examination, and more subtle forms of brain injury (eg, personality changes ...

Preoperative Evaluation for Noncardiac Surgery

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2016
This issue provides a clinical overview of preoperative evaluation for noncardiac surgery, focusing on risk factors, elements of evaluation, medication management, and practice improvement. The content of In the Clinic is drawn from the clinical information and education resources of the American College of Physicians (ACP), including MKSAP (Medical ...

Cardiovascular problems in noncardiac surgery

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2009
Perioperative cardiac complications remain a major area of concern as our surgical population increases in volume, age and frequency of comorbidity. A variety of strategies can be used to optimize patients and potentially reduce the incidence of these serious complications.Recent literature suggests a trend towards less invasive testing for detection ...

Transesophageal Echocardiography in Noncardiac Thoracic Surgery

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2012
In high-risk surgeries with medically complicated patients, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) adds an additional level of monitoring with which few can disagree. This article presents multiple applications of TEE that can assist both the anesthesiologist and the surgeon through major noncardiac thoracic surgery.

Cardiac Prognosis in Noncardiac Geriatric Surgery

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1985
Predictors of perioperative complications, including cardiac death, ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, and heart failure or myocardial infarction, were assessed in an initial study of 100 patients aged 65 years or older scheduled for elective abdominal or noncardiac thoracic surgery.
