Why the study?
Perioperative stroke causes considerable morbidity and mortality, but its recognition is challenging and surgical patients receive therapeutic interventions less often than outpatients.
These updated guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for the perioperative care of patients at high risk for stroke undergoing non-cardiac, non-neurological surgery.
Should inform perioperative stroke risk management in noncardiac surgery; extends prior SNACC recommendations with updated evidence.
Perioperative stroke is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Stroke recognition and diagnosis are challenging perioperatively, and surgical patients receive therapeutic interventions less frequently compared with stroke patients in the outpatient setting. These updated guidelines from the Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care provide evidence-based recommendations regarding perioperative care of patients at high risk for stroke. Recommended areas for future investigation are also proposed.

Vlisides et al. (2020) conducted a review in Perioperative stroke risk in non-cardiac, non-neurological surgery. Evidence-based recommendations for perioperative care was evaluated. Updated guidelines from the Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care provide evidence-based recommendations for the perioperative care of patients at high risk for stroke.
