Summary:

"Preoperative medical consultation and perioperative management of the surgical patient are important roles in the clinical practice of internists, hospitalists, and subspecialists. The role of the hospitalist has expanded to include co-management for orthopedic, neurosurgical, vascular, and other surgical patients, and even the role of the anesthesiologist has evolved, focusing on perioperative medicine outside the operating room setting as well. This book will discuss principles of medical consultation, the role of the perioperative medical consultant and the specifics regarding risk assessment and management"-- Provided by publisher.
