Article Synopsis
- Malnutrition poses a considerable risk for postoperative complications in cardiac surgery patients, necessitating effective screening tools.
- The Seoul National University Hospital-Nutrition Screening Index (SNUH-NSI) is an automated tool that assesses malnutrition risk, but its effectiveness in predicting outcomes for cardiac surgery patients has not been previously confirmed.
- A study of adult cardiac surgery patients found that those identified as high-risk for malnutrition had a significantly higher chance of mortality compared to low-risk patients, highlighting the SNUH-NSI's potential as a valuable preoperative screening method.
Background: Remimazolam, a short acting benzodiazepine, is being used for general anaesthesia. The results of studies comparing recovery after propofol with that of remimazolam are inconsistent. Given that flumazenil reverses the sedative effects of remimazolam, we hypothesised that it would speed up recovery from remimazolam general anaesthesia.
