Risk Factors for Failure to Rescue in Myocardial Infarction after Noncardiac Surgery: A Cohort Study.
Compared to other perioperative complications, failure to rescue (i.e., death after suffering a complication) is highest after perioperative myocardial infarction (a myocardial infarction that occurs intraoperatively or within 30 days after surgery). The purpose of this study was to identify patient and surgical risk factors for failure to rescue in patients who have had a perioperative myocardial infarction. ⋯ Routinely identified patient and surgical factors predict risk of failure to rescue after perioperative myocardial infarction.
