INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Frailty has been associated with increased risks of perioperative complications. This systematic review explores the associations between preoperative frailty and perioperative complications ...

In the perioperative context, a frailty evaluation scale must consider certain characteristics such as validation, execution speed, simplicity, the capacity to measure multiple dimensions and not being dependent on a ...

Cardiovascular perioperative risk assessment in non-cardiac patients is an important subject in clinical practice, with a great impact in global health costs worldwide. It has been defined as the risk of a cardiac event ...

There is substantial variability in the perioperative administration of aspirin in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, both among patients who are already on an aspirin regimen and among those who are not.

Marked activation of the sympathetic nervous system occurs during and after noncardiac surgery. Low-dose clonidine, which blunts central sympathetic outflow, may prevent perioperative myocardial infarction and death without ...
