Dysrythmia,tachy/bradycardia Hypotension, decreased perfusion Occurs within 48 hours Accumulation of extravascular fluid in lung tissues and alveoli diagnosed by chest x-ray, ultrasound, clinical examination, or blood gas analysis Significant slowness of the heart rate that poses a threat to the patient and requires treatment An unintentional low systemic arterial blood pressure at a level that may result in inadequate perfusion of critical organs

6 Suspected Myocardial Ischemia Significant Hypertension Immediate Peri. Cardiac Arrest Immediate Peri. Mortality such as the brain, kidney, or heart (arbitrarily defined in adults as a systolic blood pressure less than 20% below the patient's baseline or a systolic blood pressure less than 80 mmhg or a diastolic blood pressure less than 50 mmhg lasting for more than 10 minutes) A temporary condition in which there is inadequate circulation of blood and transport of oxygen and glucose via the coronary arteries to the heart muscle but does not result in death of myocardium. It may be diagnosed by clinical symptoms of angina, ECG (ST segment or T wave) changes, new myocardial wall motion abnormality, or small increases in troponin An unplanned elevation of the systemic arterial blood pressure to a level likely to induce adverse consequences (arbitrarily defined in adults as a systolic or diastolic blood pressure more than 20% above baseline or a systolic pressure greater than 190 mmhg or diastolic pressure greater than 110 mmhg and lasting for more than 10 minutes) Unplanned cardiac arrest prior to Anesthesia End Time Death that occurs prior to Anesthesia End Time *Diagnosis Criteria (ONE from below): 1.
