Cardiac Arrest Among Surgical Patients

Abstract: One in 203 surgical patients undergoes CPR, and more than 70.0% of patients die in 30 postoperative days or less. Complications commonly precede arrest; prevention or aggressive treatment of these complications may potentially prevent CPR and improve outcomes. These data could aid discussions regarding advance directives among surgical patients.

“…Compared to other studies during earlier periods, the rate of perioperative CPR and mortality according to the NSQIP database appears to have decreased. [2,9] However, the data on intraoperative CPR was not recorded within the database after 2012 limiting us of pursuing the trend during the subsequent years.…”

“…[2] Among these patients, three-quarters suffered from a postoperative complication before or on the day of CPR, and more than two thirds of them died in the first 30 days after surgery. [2] Every incident of cardiac arrest requiring CPR is not only harmful to the patient, but it is also taxing on the hospital staff, the patients' families, and adds additional financial burden to the health care system. For aforesaid reasons, identifying and reducing patient-specific risk factors is imperative to improve both patient safety and hospital cost.…”

“…Not surprisingly, average length of hospitalization is longest for each of these diagnoses. 2024 In 2009–2010, the average length of hospitalization for septicemia, cancer, and kidney disease was 9.3 days, 6.4 days, and 6.2 days, respectively, for the age group of 65–74 years. 25 The worst survival outcome in our cohort is found in the group with the longest hospitalization prior to the arrest which likely has a higher population of patients with these co-morbidities.…”

“…This upward trend in rates of hospital survival coincides with similar increases reported in the general population over this time frame, which has been attributed in part to advancements in resuscitation care. 8,20 This increase might also be a reflection of concurrent changes in hospital discharge practices reported in the general and wider Medicare populations and increasing use of hospice and long-term care facilities following an episode of in-hospital CPR where patients might subsequently die. 2,17 It seems less likely that improvements in survival to discharge may reflect more selective use of CPR in this population given the upward trend in the incidence of CPR and the proportion of in-hospital deaths preceded by CPR during the same time frame.…”
