COVID-19 is associated with high morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery. Contrary to elective procedures, emergency operations should not be postponed. We aim to evaluate the profile and outcomes of COVID-19 patients who underwent emergency abdominal surgery.
We performed a retrospective analysis of perioperative data of COVID-19 patients undergoing emergency surgery from April 2020 to August 2020.
Eighty-two patients were evaluated due to abdominal complaints, yielding 22 emergency surgeries. The mean APACHE II and SAPS were 18.7 and 68, respectively. Six patients had a PaO/FiO lower than 200 and more than 50% of parenchymal compromise on chest tomography. The most common indications for emergency surgery were hernias (6; 27.2%). The median length of stay was 30 days, and only two patients required reoperation. Postoperatively, 10 (43.3%) patients needed mechanical ventilation for a mean of 6 days. The overall mortality rate was 31.8%.
Both postoperative morbidity and mortality are high in COVID-19 patients with respiratory compromise and abdominal emergencies.
新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)与接受手术患者的高发病率和死亡率相关。与择期手术不同,急诊手术不应推迟。我们旨在评估接受急诊腹部手术的COVID-19患者的特征和结局。
我们对2020年4月至2020年8月接受急诊手术的COVID-19患者的围手术期数据进行了回顾性分析。
因腹部不适对82例患者进行了评估,其中22例接受了急诊手术。急性生理与慢性健康状况评分系统(APACHE)II和简化急性生理学评分(SAPS)的平均值分别为18.7和68。6例患者的动脉血氧分压/吸入氧分数(PaO₂/FiO₂)低于200,胸部断层扫描显示超过50%的实质损害。急诊手术最常见的指征是疝气(6例;27.2%)。中位住院时间为30天,只有2例患者需要再次手术。术后,10例(43.3%)患者需要机械通气,平均时间为6天。总死亡率为31.8%。
对于有呼吸功能不全和腹部急症的COVID-19患者,术后发病率和死亡率均很高。
