1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

backgroundHemodynamic instability, which is an independent predictor of long-term patient morbidity and duration of stay in the hospital, is a risk for patients in the post-anesthesia care unit. Multiple factors contribute to the development of postoperative hemodynamic instability. Prevention and treatment of these factors may reduce patients' hemodynamic instability, and its associated morbidity and mortality.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the incidence and factors associated with hemodynamic instability among adult surgical patients in the post-anesthesia care unit.

methodAn institution-based prospective follow up study was conducted from April 20, 2021 to June 28, 2021. Four hundred and seventeen (417) adult surgical patients were involved in this study. Descriptive and analytic statistics were used to describe our results. Both the bivariable and multivariable logistic regression with crude odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio were used with a 95% confidence interval to evaluate the strength of association. In multivariable regression, a p-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

resultThe overall incidence of hemodynamic instability was 59.47% (CI: 0.55, 0.64). The incidence of tachycardia, bradycardia, hypotension, and hypertension were 27.34%, 21.82%, 13.67%, and 15.35% respectively. Preoperative use of beta-blockers, ASA class III, procedure longer than 4 h, intraoperative hemodynamic instability, and regional anesthesia were significantly associated with hemodynamic instability in the post-anesthesia care unit. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: The incidence of hemodynamic instability in the post anesthesia care unit was high. Preoperative use of beta-blockers, intraoperative hemodynamic instability, and prolonged duration of procedures were predictors of hemodynamic instability after operation. Early detection and management of these perioperative risk factors is necessary to reduce hemodynamic instability in the post-anesthesia care unit.
