Abstract

Patients that require major vascular surgery suffer from widespread atherosclerosis and have multiple comorbidities that place them at increased risk for postoperative complications and require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Postoperative critical care of these patients is focused on hemodynamic optimization, and early identification and management of complications to improve outcomes.
