  1. Perioperative Assessment Stanley Kurek, DO, FACS Associate Professor of Surgery UTMCK Dept. of Surgery

  2. Goals • Understand how to estimate peri-operative CV risk • Know when to perform stress testing preoperatively • Learn how to reduce risk perioperatively in those at higher risk

  3. Key Points 1. Extensive testing is rarely needed to determine risk 2. Evaluation/Testing not needed if: a. Low risk surgery b. Good functional capacity and no cardiac symptoms c. No clinical risk factors

  4. Key Points 4. Revascularization (surgery or PCI) should be considered only if standard indications are present 5. If PCI to be done, delay before non-cardiac surgery should be as follows: POBA: 14 daysBMS: 30-45 daysDES: > 365 days

  5. Key Points 6. Cardiac complications (both ischemia and infarction) are often manifested by: a. Confusion, other MS changes b. Hypotension c. Dyspnea, heart failure 7. Cardiac complications tend to occur postoperatively and not intraoperatively, with a peak incidence on POD # 2-3

  6. Key Points ST Depression Ref: Mangano, et al, JACC, 1991

  7. Key Points • 8. Outcomes in high risk patients optimized with: • a. Beta blockers • b. Aggressive pain control • c. Avoidance of severe anemia • d. Normothermia • d. Vigilant monitoring

  8. Perioperative Risk • Patient • Underlying disease • Physiologic Reserve • Procedure • Risk Classification • Anesthetic Risk • Environment

  9. Patient-associated Factors • Underlying (comorbid) conditions • More comorbidity = greater risk • Ischemic heart disease • CHF • Diabetes • Renal Insufficiency • Low serum albumin

  10. Patient-associated Factors (cont.) • Undiagnosed hypethyroidism • Hepatitis • Acute, 10% mortality • Cirrhosis • Obesity

  11. Diabetes • “Heroic” efforts to control BS • Decreased postop M&M significantly in cardiac surgery • Must be aware of hypoglycemia • Poor wound healing • Postop infections • Diabetic comorbidities

  12. Cerebral Vascular Disease • Stroke Risk • Hypertensive vascular disease • Associated comorbidities

  13. Obesity • BMI (wt/ht)(m2) • BMI < 25 normal • BMI 25-30 overweight • BMI 31-40 obese • BMI > 40 morbidly obese

  14. Obesity • Decreased pulmonary reserve • Decreased FRC • Wound infections • Anesthesia difficulties: • Intubation • Venous access • Aspiration • Thrombophlebitis • Association with DM, CV disease and HTN

  15. Patient Factors • Renal function: • Approximately 1% decline in functional nephrons per year after age 40 • Pulmonary function: • refer to text

  16. Overview • Epidemiology • Risk Assessment • Preoperative Testing • Postoperative Management to Reduce Risk • Frequently asked questions • Case studies

  17. Epidemiology • 43.9 million inpatient procedures annually • CV complications are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality following surgery • Rates among all comers: 2% • >3 risk factors: 11% • 20 Billion dollar annual cost Source: CDC 2003 National Hospital Discharge Survey - Published July 8, 2005

  20. Men and woman are not the same

  21. Gender Differences in Heart Disease • Woman get it at a later age • Woman are less likely to manifest with “typical” symptoms • Women have worse outcomes in cardiac intervention • Women (most) don’t have wives to take care of them!

  22. Overview • Epidemiology • Risk Assessment • Preoperative Testing • Postoperative Management to Reduce Risk • Frequently Asked Questions • Case Studies

  23. Approaches to Risk Assessment • ASA/Dripps • Goldman Multifactorial Index • Detsky Modified Index • Revised Risk Index • ACC/AHA Task Force Recommendations Quantitative Strategic

  24. Dripps/ASA Classification

  25. Goldman Risk Index Ref: Goldman M, Caldera D, Southwick, et al: Multifactorial index of cardiac risk in non-cardiac surgical procedures. N Engl J Med 148:2120-2127, 1988.

  26. ACC/AHA Guidelines J Am Coll Cardiol, 2007; 50:1707-1732

  27. Stepwise Approach to the Pre-operative Evaluation

  28. Stepwise Approach to Preoperative Cardiac Assessment Vigilant perioperative and postoperative management Need for emergencynoncardiacsurgery Operating room Yes No Evaluate and treatper ACC/AHA Guidelines Active cardiac conditions Consider Operating Room Yes No Proceed withplanned surgery Low RiskSurgery Yes No Asymptomatic andgood functionalcapacity Proceed withplanned surgery Yes Manage based onclinical risk factors No

  29. Manage based onclinical risk factors 3 or more clinical risk factors* 1 or 2 clinical risk factors* No clinical risk factors* Vascular Surgery Intermediate risk surgery Vascular Surgery Intermediate risk surgery Consider Testing Proceed with planned surgery with HR controlor consider non-invasive testing Proceed withplanned surgery *Clinical risk factors = known ischemic heart disease, compensated or prior HF, diabetes, renal insufficiency, cerebrovascular disease

  30. Importance of Surgical Urgency Elective Surgery: Carried out at a time to suit the patient and surgeon Urgent Surgery: Carried out within 24-hrs of admission Emergency Surgery: Carried out within 2-hrs of admission or in conjunction with resuscitation Non-Cardiac Surgery Source: Evaluation of National Confidential Enquiry into Perioperative Deaths (NCEPOD)

  31. Surgical Urgency? Key Point: Patients undergoing urgent or emergent surgery are at higher risk of postoperative complications and require closer surveillance postoperatively.

  32. Functional Capacity • Correlates with maximum oxygen uptake on treadmill testing • Demonstrated predictor of future cardiac events • Poor functional capacity may hide low threshold cardiac symptoms

  33. 1 METCan you take care of yourself? Eat, dress, or use the toilet? Walk indoors around the house? Walk a block or two on level ground at 2-3 mph or 3.2-4.8 km/h? 4 METs Do light work around the house like dusting or washing clothes? MET = metabolic equivalent 4 METsClimb a flight of stairs or walk up a hill? Walk on level ground at 4 mph or 6.4 km/h? Run a short distance? Do heavy work around the house like scrubbing floors or lifting or moving heavy objects? Participate in moderate recreational activities like golf, bowling, dancing, doubles tennis, or throwing a baseball or football? 10 METsParticipate in strenuous sports like swimming, singles tennis, football, baseball, or skiing?

  34. Assessing Risk

  35. Active Cardiac Conditions High Risk: • Acute or recent MI (7-30 d) • Unstable coronary syndrome • Decompensated CHF • Significant Arrhythmias • Severe Valvular Disease Surgery

  36. Clinical Risk Factors Proceed Cautiously with: • History of heart disease • Compensated or prior CHF • Cerebrovascular disease • Diabetes Mellitus • Renal Insufficiency 3 or more risk factors& Vascular surgery Consider testing Proceed with surgery or consider testing 1 – 2 risk factors

  37. Low Risk Situations Low Risk: • Low risk surgery • Good functional capacity • No cardiac symptoms • No “active cardiac conditions” • No clinical risk factors Reasonable to proceed with surgery

  38. Surgery Related Risk • High Risk (Risk > 5%): • Emergent major operations • Aortic and other major vascular • Peripheral vascular • Anticipated prolonged or associated with large fluid shifts and/or blood loss • Intermediate Risk • (Risk < 5%): • Carotid endarterectomy • Endovascular AAA repair • Head and neck • Intraperitoneal and intrathoracic • Orthopedic • Prostate • Low Risk Surgery (Risk < 1%): • Endoscopic procedures • Superficial procedure • Cataract surgery • Breast surgery

  40. Preoperative TestingNegative Predictive Value Freedom from MI or Death Eagle et al. JACC 1996;27:910.

  41. Preoperative TestingPositive Predictive Value MI or Death

  42. ACC/AHA Recommendations • Echocardiography: • Dyspnea of unknown origin (Class IIa) • Current or hx of HF and no echo in 12 months (Class IIa) • 12 Lead ECG • Vascular surgery and 1 CRF (class I) • CRFs and intermediate risk surgery (class I) • All vascular surgery (class IIa)

  43. ACC/AHA Recommendations • Treadmill stress testing • High cardiac risk conditions • 3 CRFs, poor functional capacity & vascular surgery (class IIa) • Nuclear stress testing

  44. Which test to choose? Most ambulatory patients Treadmill Stress Test Abnormal resting ECG (dig, LVH) Exercise echo or sestamibi LBBB DSEAdenosine sestamibi dipyridamole sestamibi Unable to exercise
