Trial Outcomes & Findings for Prospective Evaluation of a RIsk Score for Postoperative Pulmonary COmPlications in Europe (NCT NCT01346709)

NCT ID: NCT01346709

Last Updated: 2022-04-05

Results Overview

Will include:Mild respiratory failure;Severe respiratory failure;acute lung injury(ALI)/Acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS);Suspected pulmonary infection;Pulmonary infiltrate;Pleural effusion;Atelectasis;Pneumothorax;Bronchospasm;Aspiration Pneumonitis;Cardiopulmonary edema.Investigators will not modify centre usual patient management. Patients with PPCs will identify by consulting medical records and looking for events fulfilling PPCdefinition. Diagnosis date for every complication will be recorded.Participants will be followed during in-hospital stay up to 5 weeks.

In-patient Adult Non-obstetricSurgical
Consecutive patients admitted to participating centres undergoing surgery Non-obstetric in-hospital surgical procedure, elective or emergent, under general anaesthesia (alone or in combination with regional/neuraxial anaesthesia), neuraxial anaesthesia or plexus block (with and without sedation). All eligible patients undergoing surgery within the seven day study period will be recruited wherever possible.
