Preoperative cardiac evaluation with transthoracic echocardiography before non-cardiac surgery
Transthoracic echocardiography has become increasingly popular in clinical practice. It is used for the functional evaluation of patients with various cardiovascular diseases. Its use has been extended further in routine screening for cardiovascular health and in preoperative risk assessment before non-cardiac surgery because it is non-invasive, easy to perform, reproducible, and cost-effective...
متن کاملAnalysis of 1-year Consecutive Application with Focused Transthoracic Echocardiography in Noncardiac Surgery
Point‐of‐care transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is an evolving field in anesthesia field and verified to have the potential to provide rapid diagnostic information during the hemodynamic collapse in operating room.[1] In this retrospective observatory study, we retrieved all the data of 1‐year consecutive use of intraoperative echocardiography in patients with circulatory collapse or undergo...
متن کاملLow negative predictive value of dobutamine stress echocardiography before abdominal aortic surgery.
BACKGROUND According to previous studies, a negative dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) test before major vascular surgery indicates that postoperative myocardial necrosis is very unlikely. We believe that the use of new cardiac troponin assays which can detect small amounts of myocardial necrosis results in a lower DSE negative predictive value for myocardial necrosis. METHODS A total ...

متن کاملMajor studies of the use of statins before noncardiac surgery
■ ■ Preliminary evidence indicates that statin drugs may be beneficial when given in the perioperative period. Although more studies are needed to draw firm conclusions, the acute nonlipid pleiotropic effects of statins may improve patient outcomes, especially for patients at the highest risk.
