DESCRIPTION

Over 300 million patients undergo surgical procedures worldwide, 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 clinical management are formulated. The curriculum for this course was specifically created to address the needs of clinicians who provide care for patients before, during and after surgery. As the established leader in perioperative medicine, this course aims to provide practitioners with the most up-to-date knowledge necessary to deliver effective, evidence-based care by affecting healthcare practices at the level of the individual and the larger health system.

1. Describe current guidelines for preoperative cardiac and pulmonary risk assessment and list several ways to predict and prevent cardiac and pulmonary complications using preoperative testing and intraoperative and postoperative interventions.
2. List several long term complications of COVID that can impact perioperative care, and describe strategies to mitigate perioperative risk in patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 exposure.
3. Recognize the risks of perioperative anemia and transfusion as well as the risks and benefits of perioperative anti-thrombotic therapies, and list several strategies to reduce bleeding and thrombotic complications through evidence-based approaches to anemia management, transfusion, coagulation testing, and pharmacologic interventions with anti-thrombotic and anti-fibrinolytic agents.
4. Describe the perioperative complications associated with diabetes, renal insufficiency, delirium, and frailty, and list current management strategies to optimize outcomes in patients with these medical conditions.
5. Describe strategies to control acute postoperative pain using multimodal analgesia and reduce risk for chronic opioid dependency.
6. Recognize how to prevent, diagnose, and treat common healthcare associated infections that complicate surgical procedures.
7. Recognize the potential for precision medicine, artificial intelligence, and/or tele-health to alter the practice of perioperative medicine.
8. Recognize the impact of burnout, and its relation to gender, race, and micro-aggressions, on clinician well-being and patient safety, and describe strategies to improve work-force resiliency, communication, and patient safety at both the individual and health system level.
9. Recognize basic views for real-time ultrasound guided vascular access and perform vascular access on simulation equipment using ultrasound (optional POCUS Workshop).
10. Recognize and interpret basic transthoracic ultrasound views of cardiac and lung structures (optional POCUS Workshop).
11. Apply basic ultrasound algorithms to diagnose and manage an unstable perioperative patient (optional POCUS Workshop).
12. Describe the role of work-life balance in well-being using valid metrics (optional Wellness Workshop).
13. Recognize the role of social contagions in work-life balance and well-being (optional Wellness Workshop).
14. Recognize the causal role of gratitude in well-being (optional Wellness Workshop).
15. Perform a brief gratitude intervention in real time (optional Wellness Workshop).
16. List several well-being improvements associated with awe and wonder interventions (optional Wellness Workshop).
17. Perform a brief awe intervention in real time (optional Wellness Workshop).
