What is the incidence and what are the risk factors for perioperative cardiac arrest in surgical patients?
Perioperative cardiac arrest occurs at a rate of 5.6 per 10,000 cases with 58.4% mortality, predominantly affecting older patients, males, and those with higher ASA physical status.
Nunnally et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Perioperative cardiac arrest in surgical patients. Immediate perioperative care vs. Inpatient hospital care (published rates) was evaluated on Incidence of perioperative cardiac arrest. Perioperative cardiac arrest occurred at a rate of 5.6 per 10,000 cases with an associated mortality of 58.4%, with higher rates observed in males and patients with higher ASA physical status.
