Study Summary

Postoperative care of high risk patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has for long been considered to be the gold standard of care in terms of reducing perioperative mortality.New evidence from a 7-day cohort study involving 27 countries comes to question this practice. The primary objective of our study is to detect any benefit of postoperative ICU care after elective surgery in terms of patient's outcome, length of hospital stay, complications and cost.
