Impact of intraoperative hypotension on hospital stay in major abdominal surgery
(2011)Although the relationship between preoperative risk factors and outcomes has been extensively studied, the effect of intraoperative hemodynamic changes in a patient's postoperative course has been less well defined. We ... -
Prediction of cardiac risk before abdominal aortic reconstruction: Comparison of a revised Goldman Cardiac Risk Index and radioisotope ejection fraction
(2002)Background. A revised Goldman Cardiac Risk Index has been suggested to identify patients at higher risk for cardiac complications in patients who undergo major noncardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to test the ... -
Routine measurement of radioisotope left ventricular ejection fraction prior to vascular surgery: Is it worthwhile?
(2004)Objective. To determine whether estimation of left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) by means of multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) scanning could reliably stratify cardiac risk prior to elective major vascular surgery. ...
