Epidemiological Investigation of Unplanned Intensive Care Unit Admissions From the Operating Room After Elective Surgery: A Nationwide Observational Study in Japan
In our review of a nationwide ICU database from 2015 to 2022 we identified a 1.9% rate of unplanned ICU admission and found that mortality varied according to the reasons for ICU admission. Respiratory-related complications were most common, and cardiovascular complications were most associated with in-hospital mortality. Further research may help us to better understand the epidemiology of unplanned ICU admission after surgery.
