Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 and Kingston General Hospital researchers are part of a groundbreaking international study that has shown that starting 카지노 게임 컬렉션� or continuing 카지노 게임 컬렉션� to take Aspirin before non-cardiac surgery as a way to protect the heart after surgery is ineffective and, in some cases, harmful.

Because surgery puts patients at increased risk of heart attack, doctors often continue to administer low doses of Aspirin before and after non-cardiac procedures. But new data from the Peri-Operative Ischemic Evaluation Study (POISE-2), published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, shows that administering Aspirin provided no benefit in reducing the risk of heart-related complications after surgery.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�In fact, Aspirin was shown to increase the risk of serious bleeding after surgery, in some cases,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Joel Parlow, Head of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at both Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and KGH and the hospital카지노 게임 컬렉션�s POISE-2 Site Principal Investigator. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�This is important news for the medical community and for patients with risk factors for heart disease who are set to undergo non-cardiac surgery.카지노 게임 컬렉션� 

With over 10,000 patients from 23 countries and 135 centres, the study is the largest clinical trial to evaluate major cardiovascular complications in non-cardiac surgeries. More than 400 patients were enlisted from KGH, making it the fourth-largest recruiting site in the world, after Hamilton Health Sciences Centre and The Cleveland Clinic.

The POISE-2 study was designed and led by Principal Investigator P. J. Devereaux (McMaster 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Population Health Research Institute).

 카지노 게임 컬렉션�KGH was able to be a vital contributor to this important study due to the dedication of our excellent research nurses Debbie Dumerton-Shore, Jessica McCourt and Beth Orr, and my co-investigator René Allard. Our research team works side-by-side with patients, surgeons, nurses and with the input of the other members of the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Parlow.
