Rates inform perioperative risk discussions; leaves open prevention strategies in contemporary noncardiac surgery cohorts.
Perioperative cardiac arrest is a rare but serious complication, with survival significantly influenced by the cause of arrest, patient comorbidities, and the time of day the arrest occurs.
Šprung et al. (2008) conducted a review in Perioperative cardiac arrest (n=518,294). Perioperative anesthesia was evaluated on Incidence of perioperative cardiac arrest per 10,000 anesthetics. The overall frequency of perioperative cardiac arrest in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery was 4.3 per 10,000 anesthetics, with an anesthesia-attributable arrest rate of 0.5 per 10,000.
