ABSTRACT

Out of patients who have undergone a non-cardiac surgical event, 5% have significant cardiac complications within the first 30 days postoperatively. Some factors, such as the aging of the population and the increase of comorbidities, as well as the rate of complications have been increasing, the surgical team must face pulmonary, thromboembolic, renal complications, etc. that can also occur. That is why the integral assessment of each patient must weigh benefits against risks of surgical event. Having sources of information based on evidence, at the site of decision-making, will avoid areas of knowledge uncertainty in the integral assessment of patients, for this reason the information and communication technologies will be very useful tools and support in making decisions, for greater patient safety.
