Clinical benefits after the implementation of a multimodal perioperative protocol in elderly patients

Abstract

Standard perioperative management in gastrointestinal surgery

“…Patients undergoing major abdominal surgery who are at high risk of a poor outcome—particularly elderly patients and patients with underlying chronic respiratory diseases—should be scheduled for intensive care treatment [122–124]. In addition, should extended monitoring, invasive mechanical ventilation, continuous application of several intravenous drugs or any kind of extracorporeal procedure be required, the patient must be transferred to a high-dependency ICU.…”

В настоящий момент анализ проведен на неболь-ших группах пациентов, ввиду чего возможно сделать лишь предварительный вывод о преимуществах данной программы.…”
