The Factors Associated 30-day Mortality After Perioperative Cardiac Arrest in Adults Undergoing Non-cardiac Surgery.

The Factors Associated 30-day Mortality After Perioperative Cardiac Arrest in Adults Undergoing Non-cardiac Surgery: A 7-year Observational Study From a Tertiary Care University Hospital

Perioperative cardiac arrest (PCA) in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery is a rare but potentially catastrophic event associated with high mortality. Several studies have highlighted the factors contributing to PCA in the surgical population. However, information on outcomes after PCA among the surgical population is still limited. Our study aims to identify the incidence of PCA, 30-days mortality and the factors associated with PCA and 30-day mortality after PCA in adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients aged> 18 years old
• history of perioperative cardiac arrest
• non- cardiac surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

• did not receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during PCA
• incomplete data regarding 30-day mortality were excluded
