Patients with a range of medical conditions undergo surgeries of
varying levels of risk, and the evolving field of consult medicine
aims to address their needs, whether pre- or post-surgery. This new
edition of The Perioperative Medicine Consult Handbook provides
useful information, advice, and guidelines based on a combination
of clinical experience and evidence-based medicine. It covers
topics in many major clinical areas (anesthesiology, cardiology,
pulmonology, gastroenterology, rheumatology, endocrinology, and
many others) and puts critical surgery information at a consult
physician's fingertips. New to this edition are chapters on thyroid
disease, restrictive lung disease, sickle cell disease,
inflammatory bowel disease, nutrition, and perioperative care of
elderly patients. The entire volume has been streamlined for a more
precise presentation of essential perioperative management
guidelines. Originally created by the Medicine Consult Service team
at the University of Washington Medical Center, and now fully
updated into a comprehensive second edition, this quick reference
is sure to be indispensable for residents and consult physicians
alike.
