Development and validation of a score to predict postoperative respiratory failure in a multicentre European cohort

Abstract

A risk score based on seven objective, easily assessed factors was able to predict which patients would develop PRF. The score could potentially facilitate preoperative risk assessment and management and provide a basis for testing interventions to improve outcomes.The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier NCT01346709).

Pulmonary complications after non-cardiac surgeries: temporal patterns and risk factors

“…Alcohol abuse is associated with greater levels of ex- [16]. Despite similar durations of surgery, patients with POPCs received more fluids intraoperatively and had significantly higher levels of CVP in the first 24 hours following the operation.…”

Präoperative Evaluation erwachsener Patienten vor elektiven, nicht Herz-Thorax-chirurgischen Eingriffen

“…Neben der Anamnese und der körperlichen Untersuchung stehen hierfür technische Verfahren (Thoraxröntgen, Spirometrie, Blutgasanalyse) sowie spezifische Scoring-Systeme zur Verfügung [11,12]. Anhand anamnestischer Informationen sowie der pulsoxymetrisch bestimmten arteriellen Sauerstoffsättigung kann das Risiko einer postoperativen pulmonalen Insuffizienz eingeschätzt werden (.…”

Preoperative evaluation of adult patients before elective, noncardiothoracic surgery

“…Alongside medical history and physical examination, technical procedures (chest x-ray, spirometry, blood gas analysis) and specific scoring systems are available [11,12]. The risk of postoperative respiratory failure can be estimated on the basis of anamnestic information and the arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (.…”

“…The risk of postoperative respiratory failure can be estimated on the basis of anamnestic information and the arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (. Table 6; [12]). Moreover, the risk of postoperative respiratory complications can be calculated using a simple score (.…”
