Perioperative premature contractions rarely require emergency treatment but necessitate careful monitoring due to their associations with postoperative atrial fibrillation and myocardial ischemia.
Perioperative premature contractions generally do not require emergency treatment, but warrant monitoring for atrial fibrillation (for PACs) and underlying ischemic heart disease (for PVCs).
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports monitoring over intervention for perioperative premature contractions; leaves open optimal strategies pending prospective trials.

A 2012 study conducted a review in Perioperative arrhythmias (Premature atrial contraction, Premature ventricular contraction). Antiarrhythmic drugs and perioperative arrhythmia management was evaluated. Perioperative premature contractions rarely require emergency treatment but necessitate careful monitoring due to their associations with postoperative atrial fibrillation and myocardial ischemia.
