Can preoperative risk factors predict postoperative pulmonary complications in adult patients undergoing elective CABG surgery?
A simple preoperative risk model using six clinical and pulmonary testing factors can identify patients at high risk for postoperative pulmonary complications after CABG surgery.
Hulzebos et al. (2003) conducted an observational in Postoperative pulmonary complications after CABG surgery (n=117). Preoperative risk model was evaluated on Postoperative pulmonary complications. A preoperative risk model incorporating six factors identified patients at risk for postoperative pulmonary complications after CABG surgery with 87% sensitivity and 56% specificity.
