Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors Are Not Associated with Respiratory Complications or Mortality After Noncardiac Surgery

Structured PICO

Does ACEI use increase respiratory complications or mortality in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?

Population

Patients undergoing noncardiac surgery

Intervention

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACEIs)

Outcome

Intraoperative or postoperative upper-airway complications, in-hospital complications, and 30-day mortalitysafety

The use of ACE inhibitors prior to noncardiac surgery does not appear to increase the risk of perioperative respiratory complications or short-term mortality.

Abstract

We did not find any association between use of ACEIs and intraoperative or postoperative upper-airway complications. Furthermore, ACEI use was not associated with in-hospital complications or increased 30-day mortality.
