ARISCAT and LAS VEGUS Risk Scores for Predicting Postoperative Pulmonary Complications After Cardiac Surgery

The goal of this observational study is to compare the, ARISCAT and LAS VEGUS scales, for predicting postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracies of the two risk prediction scores in predicting postoperative pulmonary complications.
