Abstract:
The preoperative evaluation of cardiac surgery patients is a crucial step in assessing operative risk, defining perioperative strategies, and informing the patient about anesthesia management, intensive care, and transfusion protocols. One of the main objectives of the pre-anesthetic consultation is to identify patient and surgery-related risk factors that may lead to complications, in order to propose the most appropriate anesthetic management. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study in the polyvalent intensive care unit (ICU) A1 at Hassan 2 University Hospital in Fes, in order to evaluate the epidemiological and demographic aspects of these patients, the preoperative evaluation strategy, and to study the morbidity and mortality related to cardiac surgery, aiming to optimize the management of these patients.
