Aga Khan University181 enrolled

Overview

The goal of this observational study is to compare the, ARISCAT and LAS VEGUS scales, for predicting postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracies of the two risk prediction scores in predicting postoperative pulmonary complications.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Diagnostic Accuracy of ARISCAT and LAS VEGAS Scoring systems

Diagnostic Accuracy to judge the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia (ARISCAT) and Local Assessment of Ventilatory Management During General Anaesthesia for Surgery (LAS VEGAS) Scoring systems to predict Postoperative Pulmonary Complications (PPC) after Cardiac surgery. Scores, ARISCAT ≥ 27 and LAS VEGAS ≥ 8 were determined for PPCs.
