Why the study?
Does clinical assessment of peripheral perfusion predict severe complications in adults following major abdominal surgery?
Does clinical assessment of peripheral perfusion predict severe complications in adults following major abdominal surgery?
Peripheral perfusion alterations early after major abdominal surgery predict severe postoperative complications independently of systemic hemodynamics.
Supports peripheral perfusion assessment for postoperative risk stratification after abdominal surgery; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.
In a group of patients assessed following major abdominal surgery, peripheral perfusion alterations were associated with the development of severe complications independently of systemic haemodynamics. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and to explore in more detail the effects of peripheral perfusion-targeted resuscitation following major abdominal surgery.
