Perioperative care is defined as "interventions to provide care prior to, during, and immediately after surgery."[1]
[]
Classification
Intraoperative Care
Postoperative Care
Components of postoperative care may include incentive spirometry.
Benefits of perioperative medical consultation
The benefits of consultation are not clear in an observational study.[2]
Specific interventions
Blood transfusions
Among patients receiving coronary artery bypass grafting, there may be no meaningful difference between transfusing to maintain a hemoglobin levels > 8 g/dL versus a hemoglobin levels > 9 g/dL.[3] However, hemoglobin levels < 8 g/dL may increase complications.[4]
Glucose control
Regarding intraoperative control of glucose, a randomized controlled trial concluded "the increased incidence of death and stroke in the intensive treatment group raises concern about routine implementation of this intervention."[5]
