Abstract

(1) Background: Either pre-operative physical status or unstable hemodynamic changes has been reported to play a potential role in causing vital organ dysfunction. Therefore, we intended to investigate the impact of the American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) classification and intraoperative hemodynamic instability on non-surgical complications following orthopedic surgery. (2) Methods: We collected data on 6478 patients, with a mean age of 57.3 ± 16, who underwent orthopedic surgeries between 2018 and 2020. The ASA classification and hemodynamic data were obtained from an anesthesia database. Non-surgical complications were defined as a dysfunction of the vital organs. (3) Results: ASA III/IV caused significantly higher odds ratios (OR) of 17.49 and 40.96, respectively, than ASA I for developing non-surgical complications (p < 0.001). Non-surgical complications were correlated with a 20% reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP), which was intraoperatively compared to the pre-operative baseline ((OR) = 1.38, p = 0.02). The risk of postoperative complications increased with longer durations of SBP < 100 mmHg, peaking at over 20 min ((OR) = 1.33, p = 0.34). (4) Conclusions: Extended intraoperative hypotension and ASA III/IV caused a significantly higher risk of adverse events occurring within the major organs. The maintenance of hemodynamic stability prevents non-surgical complications after orthopedic surgeries.
