Why the study?
Does automatic QTc-Bazett measurement combined with QTc-Fridericia calculation reliably identify postoperative patients who require manual QTc measurement?
Does automatic QTc-Bazett measurement combined with QTc-Fridericia calculation reliably identify postoperative patients who require manual QTc measurement?
A two-step automatic QTc calculation method can reliably screen postoperative patients to determine who needs manual QTc confirmation.
May support automated QTc triage to reduce manual measurements postoperatively; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Automatic QTc-Bazett measurement, if abnormal, associated with calculation of QTc-Fridericia reliably identifies patients in whom manual QTc measurement must be performed to confirm postoperative prolonged QTc interval.
