Abstract

The investigation objective was to classify patients according to the complication and mortality risks after elective heart surgeries, using the Tuman System of Clinical Risk Score. A descriptive study, developed in a university hospital in São Paulo state, Brazil, from August of 2013 to February of 2015. A consecutive and non-probabilistic sample was constituted by patients submitted to a first myocardial revascularization surgery and/or surgeries to correct valvulopathies, and with elective scheduling of their surgeries. Results: One-hundred and twenty five patients participated. The majority presented low risk for development of post-surgery complications and mortality (n = 110; 88%). A rate of 14.6% for complications and 3.3% for mortality are expected for these patients. In this study, most patients submitted for their first time to elective heart surgeries presented low risk to develop post-surgery complications and mortality.
