Postoperative Respiratory Abnormalities

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Respiratory Failure, Respiratory Arrest, Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Acute Respiratory Failure, Acute Respiratory Failure With Hypoxia, Acute Respiratory Failure With Hypercapnia, Acute Respiratory Failure Post Surgical, Acute Respiratory Failure Postprocedural, Acute Respiratory Failure Following Trauma and Surgery, Acute Respiratory Failure Requiring Reintubation, Acute Respiratory Failure Post Traumatic, Acute Respiratory Decompensation, Shock, Shock, Septic, Shock, Cardiogenic, Acute Cardiac Failure, Multi Organ Failure, Acute Kidney Failure

In brief

The study aims to determine how historical cases of respiratory abnormalities are documented by clinicians in the electronic health records (EHR) of Memorial Hermann Healthcare System (MHHS) inpatient facilities. The knowledge gained from this study will support the design of modern data-driven surveillance approach to continuously collect, monitor and timely recognize postoperative respiratory abnormalities using electronic healthcare recorded data.

• Patient records who are under 18 years of age;
• Any surgical or invasive procedure performed as an emergency; or Respiratory abnormality present on admission; ASA 5: A moribund patient who is not expected to survive without the operation. The patient is not expected to survive beyond the next 24 hours without surgery.
• ASA 6: A brain-dead patient whose organs are being removed with the intention of transplanting them into another patient.
