This review examines perioperative stroke risk factors and mechanisms, focusing on preoperative assessment for general surgeries. Understanding these factors aids in predicting and potentially preventing strokes around the time of surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Cardiology
  • Surgical Sciences

Background:

  • Perioperative stroke is a significant concern, potentially leading to severe patient outcomes.
  • Risk factors and underlying mechanisms require thorough investigation for effective management.
  • Preoperative assessment is crucial for identifying patients at elevated risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the incidence and mechanisms of perioperative stroke.
  • To identify associated risk factors for perioperative stroke.
  • To focus on preoperative risk prediction in general surgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on perioperative stroke.
  • Analysis of risk factors identified during the preoperative period.

  • Examination of stroke in relation to specific surgical types: peripheral vascular, orthopedic, gynecologic, and head and neck surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • Incidence rates of perioperative stroke vary across different surgical specialties.
    • Key risk factors include patient comorbidities, surgical complexity, and duration.
    • Mechanisms involve hemodynamic instability, thromboembolism, and inflammatory responses.

    Conclusions:

    • Preoperative risk stratification is essential for mitigating perioperative stroke.
    • Further research into specific mechanisms can refine preventative strategies.
    • Multidisciplinary approaches are necessary for optimal patient care and stroke prevention.
