NCT02663505 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 6918

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Intensive care units are inevitable for high risk surgery and/or high risk patients i.e. patients with severe preconditions. However, usually the capacity of these units is limited such that at times elective surgery has to be postponed if there is no ICU capacity.

The aim of this study is to investigate potential influence/risk factors important for ICU admission in a university hospital in Germany and develop a risk score. In a second phase the risk score for ICU admission will be validated.

Conditions

  • Development of a Risk Score for ICU Admission

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Patients receiving the surgery planned for them

For each patient the following potential influence (risk) factors are documented: sex, urgency of the operation, BMI, age, ASA classification, preconditions, physical fitness, Hb value. In phase 2 only selected influence factors will be recorded. No intervention will be performed apart from the surgery planned for each patient.
