Description:
Thirty million patients undergo surgical procedures in the US each year, and the age and medical complexity of this patient population is increasing. All these patients require preoperative assessment, intraoperative management, and postoperative care. Every year the body of peer-reviewed literature on this topic increases and new guidelines on perioperative management are formulated. In addition, economic and regulatory forces are creating new challenges for health care professionals. As the established leader in perioperative medicine, this course aims to provide the practitioner with the most up-to-date knowledge necessary for delivery of effective clinical care.

Objectives:
After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:
1. Describe current guidelines for preoperative cardiac and pulmonary risk assessment and how to prevent and/or minimize cardiac and pulmonary complications using cost-effective preoperative testing and specific intraoperative and postoperative interventions.
2. Describe the perioperative risks associated with diabetes, obesity, hepatic disease, and advanced age and management strategies to minimize complications in these patients.
3. Describe bleeding and thrombotic risks in surgical patients and how to reduce complications through evidence-based use of blood conservation strategies, transfusion, and management of anti-thrombotic drug therapies.
4. Recognize how to prevent and treat infectious complications in surgical patients.
5. Recognize the impact of health care delivery systems and culture on the quality and safety of perioperative care and describe ways to improve patient outcome through changes in system structure and culture.
