Why the study?
Does perioperative maintenance of normothermia reduce morbid cardiac events in patients with cardiac risk factors undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Does perioperative maintenance of normothermia reduce morbid cardiac events in patients with cardiac risk factors undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Maintaining normothermia perioperatively in noncardiac surgery patients with cardiac risk factors reduces morbid cardiac events and ventricular tachycardia.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support normothermia in high-risk noncardiac surgery; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm causality.
In patients with cardiac risk factors who are undergoing noncardiac surgery, the perioperative maintenance of normothermia is associated with a reduced incidence of morbid cardiac events and ventricular tachycardia.
