Why the study?
Does routine intraoperative monitoring with TEE or 12-lead ECG improve the identification of patients at high risk for perioperative ischemic outcomes compared to two-lead ECG in men undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Does routine intraoperative monitoring with TEE or 12-lead ECG improve the identification of patients at high risk for perioperative ischemic outcomes compared to two-lead ECG in men undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Routine intraoperative monitoring with TEE or 12-lead ECG provides little incremental value over preoperative clinical data and two-lead ECG for predicting perioperative ischemic outcomes in high-risk men undergoing noncardiac surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Adds no incremental value for ischemic risk prediction in this cohort; leaves open whether TEE or 12-lead ECG monitoring improves outcomes.
