Abstract
Purpose
Patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) who require surgical procedures are likely to experience higher postoperative mortality and morbidity. Our objective was to evaluate the perioperative course of patients infected with SARS-COV-2 undergoing surgical procedures. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics, outcomes, and the effect of the presence of symptoms.
Design
Retrospective cohort.
Methods
We analyzed the records of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection who underwent surgical procedures from March 2020 to March 2021. Patients with ongoing infection at the time of surgery and those who had recently recovered were included. The primary outcome measure was 30-day in-hospital mortality after surgery. Secondary outcomes were intensive care unit (ICU) admission, length of stay in ICU, postoperative length of stay, and complications.
Findings
Data from 102 patients were analyzed. Twenty-four patients (23.5%) died postoperatively in the hospital within 30 days. Forty-four patients required ICU admission (average stay 13 days). The median postoperative length of stay was 8 days (interquartile range, 3.75 to 19.25 days). Pulmonary, thromboembolic, and surgical complications were noted in 29 (28.4%), 14 (13.7%), and 18 (17.6%), respectively. Patients aged 41 to 60 years experienced higher rates of pulmonary and thromboembolic complications. Comparison of asymptomatic versus symptomatic patients revealed significantly higher 30-day in-hospital mortality (9 [15%] vs 15 [35.7%], P = .019), ICU admission (17 [28.3%] vs 27 [64.3%], P < .001), length of stay in ICU (3 [2 to 11.5] vs 18 [7 to 27], P = .001), postoperative length of stay (6 [3 to 10.75] vs 12 [5 to 25.25], P = .016) and pulmonary complication rates (11 [18.3%] vs 18 [42.9%], P = .008) in the symptomatic patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing provides original, peer-reviewed research for a primary audience that includes nurses in perianesthesia settings, including ambulatory surgery, preadmission testing, postanesthesia care (Phases I and II), extended observation, and pain management. The Journal provides a forum for sharing professional knowledge and experience relating to management, ethics, legislation, research, and other aspects of perianesthesia nursing.
