Tarala RA, This interval will allow the mucociliary transport mechanism to recover, the secretions to decrease and the carbon monoxide levels in the blood to drop.8 Reduction or cessation of smoking for less than four to eight weeks before surgery is of questionable benefit, and has actually been shown in some studies to result in higher complication rates.8,28 Asthma should be under control before surgery, if possible.

Perioperative respiratory complications in patients with asthma. Predisposing risk factors include cough, dyspnea, smoking, a history of lung disease, obesity and abdominal or thoracic surgery (Table 6).23,24 The most significant of these risk factors is the site of surgery, with abdominal and thoracic surgery having pulmonary complication rates ranging from 30 to 40 percent.24 As a rule, the closer the surgery is to the diaphragm, the higher the risk of pulmonary complications. Perioperative cardiac morbidity. An albumin level of less than 3.2 mg per dL (32 g per L) suggests an increased risk of complications. Diagnostic uses of the activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time. American College of Physicians. It should also be emphasized that almost half of perioperative cardiac complications are due to postoperative ischemia or congestive heart failure.21 The incidence of postoperative complications is the highest in the first 48 hours after surgery, and ischemia is clinically silent in up to 90 percent of cases.22 While pre-operative risk assessment and interventions are important, attention to possible complications in the postoperative period is also crucial. 0000001768 00000 n et al.

The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations for the assessment of cardiac risk in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery18 incorporate many of Goldman's risk factors but expand the assessment to include the risk associated with the particular surgical procedure (Table 3), as well as additional patient characteristics that influence perioperative cardiac risk (Table 4). 0000017809 00000 n Lennon RL, Guidelines for perioperative cardiovascular evaluation for noncardiac surgery. Initial studies have shown a decrease in perioperative cardiac mortality, with few side effects.41 Revisions in current guidelines are inevitable and may include a recommendation for beta blockers in patients with coronary artery disease.

The purpose of a preoperative evaluation is not to clear patients for elective surgery, but rather to evaluate and, if necessary, implement measures to prepare higher risk patients for surgery. The pre-operative assessment is an opportunity to identify co-morbidities that may lead to patient complications during the anaesthetic, surgical, or post-operative period. A functional assessment should be performed, and the physician should review the patient's social support and need for assistance after hospital discharge.

Macpherson DS, Pereira BT. 1995 summary: National Hospital Discharge Survey. Get Permissions, Access the latest issue of American Family Physician. In summary, recommendations do not call for preoperative cardiac testing in all patients. Although cardiac arrhythmias have historically been correlated with increased perioperative risk and are specifically cited in several risk assessment tools, recent data suggest that arrhythmias are not usually the proximate cause of a perioperative complication.20 Rather they serve as markers for possible underlying cardiopulmonary disease and should prompt an evaluation for the cause of the arrhythmia.
