How to better identify patients at high risk of postoperative complications?

Abstract: Preoperative clinical risk indices and risk calculators estimate surgical risk with moderate accuracy. Surgery-specific risk calculators are helpful in identifying patients at increased risk of 30-day mortality. Particular attention should be paid to intraoperative hemodynamic instability, blood loss, extent of surgical excision and volume of resection.

“…These patients are medically frail and intuitively are less likely to cope with the physiologic stress of preparation, endoscopy, and anesthesia. Similar observations are well established in the adult general surgical and endoscopic literature albeit with a preponderance of cardiopulmonary disease on risk stratification by medical comorbidity . This ultimately forms the basis of the ASA classification that predicts anesthesia related adverse outcomes…”

“…A total of 98 consecutive patients with a ARISCAT score of 41 (34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49) were included in the study. LUS was feasible in all patients.…”

“…The electronically generated eCART score was more accurate for predicting in-hospital cardiac arrest, transfer to an intensive care unit and death compared to the MEWS in general ward patients. 39 Integrating technology can contribute to detect patients who are clinically deteriorating, showing current early warning and intervention systems can be further improved.…”

“…As only~10% of all surgical patients account for >80% of postoperative deaths, 13 identifying these high-risk patients before surgery is key to enable treating them using perioperative GDT. Although there are multiple scores for predicting the risk of postoperative complications, 14 defining the 'highrisk patient' can be subjective and complex because multiple patient-and surgery-related factors contribute to the risk of adverse postoperative outcomes. Indicators for high patient risk include age, cardiovascular or pulmonary comorbidities, and impaired preoperative functional capacity.…”

“…14 Surgical risk depends on the urgency, extent, invasiveness, and complexity of the procedure, and is especially high in patients having emergency, major abdominal, cardiac, or vascular surgery. 14 Perioperative GDT reduces postoperative morbidity and mortality compared with standard care mainly in high-risk patients having major surgery (i.e. in patients with high patient risk, high surgical risk, or both).…”
