Implication

Supports selective ECG in patients with risk factors; leaves open whether routine use improves perioperative outcomes.

Structured PICO

Does routine preoperative ECG testing identify abnormalities in clinically stable patients prior to elective non-cardiac surgery?

Population

193 hospitalized clinically stable patients (128 males, 65 females) advised ECG for preanesthetic assessment prior to elective non-cardiac surgery

Intervention

Routine preoperative electrocardiography (ECG)

Outcome

Incidence of ECG abnormalities and correlation of risk factors with ECG abnormalitiessurrogate

Routine preoperative ECG identifies abnormalities in nearly 40% of clinically stable patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery, particularly those with cardiovascular risk factors.
