Re: mortality in minor surgeryFrom: ainsron@msn.comTue Dec 26 03:59:55 2000
Mortality rates are related primarily to physical status, which anesthesiology rates from Class I to Class V. The anesthesia text I'm looking at shows an incidence ranging from .08 to .06 % for class I up to 10-50% for class V. These data are based on 1970 articles in the anesthesia literature, I'm sure you can find more current rates and with current monitoring techniques they are probable a little lower. Class I is healthy patient, Class II mild systemic disease, ... Class V is moribund patient not expected to survive for 24 hours w or w/o operation.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
