The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted hospital resources in unprecedented ways, forcing frontline providers to make informed and agile decisions about resource allocation.
To assist these health care providers in triaging adult cardiac surgery cases, STS has developed an interactive and easy-to-use COVID-19 Resource Prediction Instrument based on 10 years of data from the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (ACSD).
This new instrument provides a rapid estimate of ventilator hours, ICU time, transfusions, and risk of acute reoperation.
It is free and available for anyone to use.
