“…However, trauma cannot be the only cause of dysfunction; in another study [25], 32% of patients with prolonged hospitalization exhibited gastrointestinal dysfunction after extraabdominal operations (e.g., revision hip arthroplasty). Also of note is that cardiac morbidity, in our study, is not the most relevant type of morbidity, as in other studies, after noncardiac surgery [12][13][14][15]. In our opinion, this could be true because in these studies, the patient population or the surgery performed were specialized.…”

“…Nevertheless, intraoperative hemodynamic changes have been reported as important prognostic factors of morbidity and mortality [1,5,[9][10][11]. Evidence shows that hypotension under general anesthesia is associated with adverse outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac and noncardiac surgery [12][13][14][15]. It is reported that mortality risk is increased by more than 1% per minute of systolic blood pressure below 80 mmHg [2].…”

“…Such events account for one third of perioperative deaths [35] and are associated with longterm mortality rates [36] and prolonged hospital stay [37,38]. Myocardial infarction, for instance, relates to an inhospital mortality of 15-25% [39][40][41]. As shown in various studies and meta-analyses, ASA withdrawal is associated with a significant increase in the risk of myocardial infarction and death [13].…”

“…of patients with a documented myocardial infarction will have symptoms [20,49]. The cost-effectiveness of widespread measurements of biochemical markers following noncardiac surgery is unclear, but potentially provides a beneficial effect in targeting those individuals with advanced coronary artery disease in need of revascularization.…”
