What does Gupta Postoperative Respiratory Failure/Pneumonia Risk (framework) do?
Use to identify patients at high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications so preoperative optimization (smoking cessation, treating infection), intraoperative lung-protective ventilation, and postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation can be intensified. Complements the ARISCAT score.
How is the result calculated?
Two independent NSQIP-derived logistic models. Respiratory failure (ventilation > 48 h or unplanned reintubation): functional status, ASA, preoperative sepsis, emergency surgery, procedure category. Pneumonia: age, ASA, functional status, COPD, sepsis, smoking, procedure category.
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. All results are decision-support only, for licensed clinicians. They must be individualized to the whole patient and the latest guideline version.
