Study type | Interventional |
Mortality and morbidity remain high after non-cardiac surgery. Known risk factors include age, high ASA grade and emergency surgery. Point-of-care focused cardiac ultrasound may elucidate pathology and potential hemodynamic compromise unknown to handling physicians. This study aims to investigate the effects of focused cardiac ultrasound in high-risk patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery with respect to clinical endpoints.
