Wearable devices as part of postoperative early warning score systems: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT: Postoperative deterioration is often preceded by abnormalities in vital parameters, but limited resources prevent their continuous monitoring in patients with no indication to ICU admission. The development of new technologies allowed the introduction of wearable devices (WDs), enabling the possibility of postoperative monitoring in surgical wards. We performed a Scoping Review to determine the current use of wearable devices as part of Continuous Remote Early Warning Score (CREWS) systems and their efficiency during postoperative period. This Scoping Review was conducted according to PRISMA-ScR guidelines. PICO framework was used before the search to define the review protocol. Systematic literature research has been performed on PubMed, MeSH, MEDLINE and Embase, considering a period betw
