Perioperative care is defined as "interventions to provide care prior to, during, and immediately after surgery."[1]

[edit intro]

Classification

Intraoperative Care

Postoperative Care

Components of postoperative care may include incentive spirometry.

Complications

Myocardial ischemia

In noncardiac surgery, myocardial ischemia is more common during the postoperative period than during or before surgery.[2]

In coronary artery bypass surgery, ischemia is common after release of aortic occlusion.[3] Ischemia may be better detected by transesophageal echocardiography than by continuous electrocardiography.[4]

Myocardial infarction

Perioperative myocardial infarction has been reviewed.[5]

Myocardial infarction is usually NSTEMI.[6][2][7] Transmural infarctions may occur, but tend to occur later (one week) during hospitalization and are more likely to be transmural.[6]

Older studies showed higher mortality, perhaps due to only detecting large infarctions.[8]

Specific interventions

Medical consultation

The benefits of medical consultation are not clear in an observational study.[9]

Blood transfusions

Among patients receiving coronary artery bypass grafting, there may be no meaningful difference between transfusing to maintain a hemoglobin levels > 8 g/dL versus a hemoglobin levels > 9 g/dL.[10] However, hemoglobin levels < 8 g/dL may increase complications.[11]

Glucose control

Regarding intraoperative control of glucose, a randomized controlled trial concluded "the increased incidence of death and stroke in the intensive treatment group raises concern about routine implementation of this intervention."[12] An unblinded randomized controlled trial found benefit.[13]
