Before Surgery.
During Surgery.
After Surgery.
Perioperative medicine is no longer simply about “clearing” a patient for surgery. Modern care requires risk stratification, medical optimization, intraoperative awareness, postoperative surveillance, and rapid management of complications across multiple organ systems.
Assess & Optimize
Cardiac and pulmonary risk, anticoagulation, heart failure, diabetes, renal disease, frailty, medications, anemia and preoperative testing.
Manage & Monitor
Hemodynamics, airway management, sedation, fluid therapy, blood management, analgesia, monitoring and multidisciplinary decision-making.
Detect & Recover
Myocardial injury, atrial fibrillation, hypoxia, AKI, delirium, infection, VTE, sepsis, pain and enhanced recovery.
One Operation. Multiple Medical Risks.
Older age, cardiovascular disease, anticoagulation, diabetes, pulmonary disease, renal dysfunction, frailty, polypharmacy and increasingly complex procedures make perioperative decision-making a multidisciplinary challenge.
Risk Assessment, Optimization & Surveillance
Review the cardiovascular decisions that frequently determine whether a patient can proceed safely to surgery and how they should be monitored afterward.
Preoperative Cardiac Assessment
Testing, risk stratification and evidence-based evaluation before surgery.
Cardiomyopathy & HF
Optimization of patients with heart failure and cardiomyopathy.
Antiplatelets & Anticoagulation
Warfarin, DOACs and antiplatelet therapy around surgery.
Troponin, AF & Myocardial Injury
Recognition and management of common postoperative cardiovascular problems.
Prepare for the Problems That Can Change a Surgical Course
Add POCUS to Perioperative Decision-Making
Review the growing role of focused ultrasound in rapidly assessing perioperative physiology and supporting real-time clinical decisions.
Connect bedside imaging with cardiovascular, pulmonary and hemodynamic assessment in the perioperative setting.
Manage the Comorbidities That Complicate Recovery
Current approaches to perioperative glucose management.
Renal risk, electrolyte disorders and AKI prevention.
Multimodal analgesia, chronic opioids, buprenorphine and methadone.
Surgical-site and healthcare-associated infection strategies.

Perioperative Decisions Can Shape the Entire Surgical Outcome
This program brings cardiovascular, pulmonary, metabolic, anesthetic, surgical, critical-care and postoperative perspectives together so clinicians can approach the surgical patient as one integrated clinical problem rather than a collection of isolated conditions.
