Overview
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in the maintenance of systemic homeostasis. Measurement of heart rate variability (HRV) is a method for assessment of the autonomic nervous system. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system could complicate the perioperative course in the pacient undergoing surgery, therefore it should be considered as another risk factor during preoperative assessment. Nowadays the assessment of the autonomic nervous system function as a predictive tool of the perioperative outcome is not considered in daily anaesthetic practice.
Keywords:
autonomic nervous system – heart rate variability – perioperative complications – postoperative morbidity and mortality
