Abstract

Perioperative
cardiac arrest and mortality are the most important complications of
anesthesia, surgery and all invasive procedures. A decrease in the incidence of
perioperative mortality is observed in the course of years. This decline was
evident in developed countries but not statistically significant in developing
countries. The most risky age group in terms of perioperative mortality was the
newborn, children under one year of age and geriatric patients.
Anesthesia-related cardiac arrest is mostly due to airway problems and
secondary reasons for anesthetic drugs. The aim of this review is to
investigate the change pattern of perioperative and anesthesia induced cardiac
arrests and mortality over the years and to evaluate the risk factors.

Perioperatif Kardiyak Arrest ve Mortalite

Abstract

Perioperatif
kardiyak arrest ve mortalite anestezi, cerrahi ve tüm invaziv proseürlerin en
önemli komplikasyonudur. Perioperatif mortalite insidansının yıllar içinde
değişimi izlendiğinde düşüş seyri gözlenmektedir. Bu düşüş gelişmiş ülkelerde belirginken
gelişmekte olan ülkelerde istatistiksel anlamlı bir düşüş saptanmamıştır.
Perioperatif mortalite açısından en riskli yaş grubu yenidoğan, bir yaş altı çocuklar
ve geriatrik hastalardır. Anesteziye bağlı kardiyak arrest ise çoğunlukla hava
yolu problemleri ve anestezik ilaçlara sekonder nedenlerle olmaktadır. Bu
derleme ile amaçlanan perioperatif ve anesteziye bağlı kardiyak arrest ve
mortalitenin yıllar içinde değişimini irdelemek ve risk faktörlerinin göz önüne
koymaktır. 

Keywords
