Does Anesthesia Contribute to Operative Mortality?

摘要: An anesthesia follow-up program (100 000 anesthetics) and vital statistics data were used to assess the role of in operative deaths. Four factor groups (patient, surgical, anesthesia, "other") assessed by logistic regression analysis ascertain which variables predictive seven-day mortality. Advanced age, male gender, physical status, major surgery, emergency procedure, procedures performed 1975 1979, intraoperative complications, narcotic techniques, having one or two anesthetic drugs administered associated with increased mortality, whereas duration experience anesthesiologist, inhalation techniques not. Receiver-operator characteristic curves showed no increment prediction mortality greater than that for patient plus surgical factors when "other" added. Patient risk much more important predicting we studied. ( JAMA 1988;260:2859-2863)
