Frequency and Temporal Distribution of Postoperative Respiratory Depressive Events

CONCLUSIONS: Continuous monitoring of surgical patients demonstrates that RD episodes are common, and risk increases with higher PRODIGY scores. In this patient cohort, the rate of initial RD episodes peaked in the afternoon to early evening, while peak rate of all RD episodes occurred in early morning. Further, among patients with RD episodes, the number of episodes increased with higher PRODIGY scores.PMID:33857962 | DOI:10.1213/ANE.0000000000005478
