Perioperative stroke – Prediction, Prevention, and Protection

Abstract: Stroke culminates into 6.2 million deaths annually and is thereby a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. In patients undergoing noncardiac, nonneurological surgery, perioperative stroke can eventuate into a catastropic aftermath with almost eight-fold rise in mortality. In cardiac, neurological, and carotid surgery, stroke rate accounts to be high (2.2%–5.2%) and is a significant instigator of morbidity and mortality as well. These facts kindle interest to review the predictive parameters, preventi… Show more

“…Interestingly, the risk factors found for stroke have also been implicated as the same post-CABG risk factors for mortality following occurrence of stroke. 18,19 Our study and previous studies show that the Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (whiskers) for each predictor from stroke patients compared with non-stroke patients for survival past 1 year. Hazard ratios correspond to the shift in the hazard function attributable to the predictor.…”

“…The low-risk group includes procedures in the field of endocrinology, ophthalmology, dentistry, urology and minor orthopaedic procedures. [25,26]. Risk reduction strategies include: -implementation of appropriate pharmacological treatment (β-blockers, stains, acetylsalicylic acid), -prophylactic coronary revascularization, -appropriate premedication mixtures (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with analgesic effect, benzodiazepines, proton pump inhibitors and antiemetic drugs when the patient declares the syndrome of postoperative nausea and vomiting -PONV), -selection of appropriate anaesthesia, if possible (general anaesthesia with intubation, epidural, spinal anaesthesia, general anaesthesia with the use of a laryngeal/face mask, regional anaesthesia, peripheral conduction anaesthesia) [27,28].…”

“…Intra-operative hypotension (IOH) has been associated with adverse outcomes[1] in terms of kidney[2345] and myocardial injury,[3467] as well as mortality,[89] and probably also stroke. [1011] Therefore, prevention of IOH may be a key in further improving patient outcome.…”
