Article Synopsis
- This study examines preventable factors linked to perioperative mortality in major renal surgeries by analyzing data from the ANZASM database covering 2005 to 2015.
- A total of 89 cases of mortality were reviewed, leading to the identification of 68 Clinical Management Issues (CMIs), with most concerning pre-operative assessment and optimization, especially around the decision to operate.
- The findings indicate that improving pre-operative evaluations and addressing intra-operative challenges, such as major vascular injuries and delays in surgical conversion, could significantly reduce mortality rates in these surgeries.
Background: Cholecystectomy is a commonly performed procedure; however, it is not without risks. It is crucial to constantly audit surgical outcomes in order to improve quality of care. The aim of this retrospective population-based cohort study is to identify preventable issues of clinical management associated with adverse occurrences in order to reduce mortality of cholecystectomy patients.
