RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: perioperative risk assessment is essential to mitigate surgical complications, which suggests individual and collective interest since the number of surgical procedures in Brazil has been expanding steadily. The aim of this study was to summarize and detail the main calculators, indexes and scores regarding perioperative pulmonary, renal, hepatobiliary, hematological and surgical site infection risks for general non-cardiac surgeries, which are dispersed in the literature. METHOD: a narrative review was performed based on manuscripts in English and Portuguese found in the electronic databases Pubmed/MEDLINE and EMBASE. RESULTS: the review included 11 tools related to the systems covered, for which the application method and its limitations are detailed. CONCLUSION: the non-cardiovascular perioperative risk estimation tools are beneficial when disturbances are identified in the preoperative clinical examination that justify a possible increased risk to the affected system, so the use of these tools provides palpable values to aid in the judgment of surgical risk and benefit as well as it identifies factors amenable to intervention to improve outcomes.

The number of surgical procedures in the world is large and in Brazil it has been expressing a growth trend higher than the population growth. In this context, perioperative risk assessment safeguards the optimization of the outcomes sought by the procedures. For this evaluation, anamnesis and physical examination constitute an irreplaceable initial stage which may or may not be followed by complementary exams, interventions for clinical stabilization and application of risk estimation tools. The use of these tools can be very useful in order to obtain objective data for decision making by weighing surgical risk and benefit. Global and cardiovascular risk assessments are of greatest interest in the preoperative period, however information about their methods is scattered in the literature. Some tools such as the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA PS) and the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) are more widely known, while others are less known but can provide valuable information. Here, the main indices, scores and calculators that address general and cardiovascular perioperative risk were detailed.

RESUMO Introdução: a avaliação de risco perioperatório é essencial para mitigação das complicações cirúrgicas, o que aventa interesse individual e coletivo uma vez que o número de procedimentos cirúrgicos no Brasil vem se expandindo de maneira crescente. O objetivo deste estudo foi resumir e detalhar as principais calculadoras, índices e escores dos riscos perioperatórios pulmonar, renal, hepatobiliar, hematológico e de infecção de sítio cirúrgico para cirurgias gerais não cardíacas, os quais encontram-se dispersos na literatura. Método: foi realizada revisão narrativa a partir de manuscritos em inglês e português encontrados nas bases eletrônicas Pubmed/MEDLINE e EMBASE. Resultados: a revisão incluiu 11 ferramentas relativas aos sistemas abordados, para as quais detalha-se o método de aplicação e suas limitações. Conclusão: as ferramentas de estimativa de risco perioperatório não cardiovascular encontram benefício quando se identifica no exame clínico pré-operatório alterações que justifiquem possível risco aumentado ao sistema afetado, assim a utilização destas ferramentas fornece valores palpáveis para auxílio no julgamento de risco e benefício cirúrgico bem como identifica fatores passíveis de intervenção para melhoria dos desfechos.

RESUMO O número de procedimentos cirúrgicos no mundo é amplo e no Brasil vem expressando tendência de crescimento superior ao crescimento populacional. Nesse contexto, a avaliação de risco perioperatório resguarda a otimização dos desfechos buscados pelos procedimentos. Para a realização dessa avaliação, a anamnese e exame físico constituem etapa inicial insubstituível, a qual pode ou não ser seguida de exames complementares, intervenções para estabilização clínica e aplicação de ferramentas de estimativa de risco. A utilização destas ferramentas pode ser bastante útil a fim de se obter um dado objetivo para a tomada de decisão pesando-se risco e benefício cirúrgico. As avaliações de risco global e cardiovascular são as de maior interesse no pré-operatório, entretanto informações sobre seus métodos encontram-se dispersas na literatura. Algumas ferramentas como o American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA PS) e Índice de Risco Cardíaco Revisado (RCRI) são mais amplamente conhecidos, enquanto outros são menos conhecidos em nosso meio mas podem fornecer informações valiosas. Aqui detalhou-se os principais índices, escores e calculadoras que abordam risco perioperatório geral e cardiovascular.
