Perioperative Cardiac Arrest and Mortality

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

Öz

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.
