80072721 - Perioperative Management In Its 42nd Year

Sunday, February 14, 2027, 7:00 AM - Wednesday, February 17, 2027, 1:30 PM, Marco Island Marriott, Marco Island, FL


Over 300 million patients undergo surgical procedures worldwide, and the age and medical complexity of this patient population continues to increase. Higher risk patients are now having surgery in ambulatory settings. All these patients require preoperative assessment, intraoperative management, and postoperative care. Because the breadth of knowledge in perioperative medicine, which includes the diverse disciplines of anesthesiology, internal medicine (cardiology, pulmonology, hematology, nephrology, infectious diseases and geriatrics) and surgery, is vast, many practitioners may not have uptodate information that is critical to clinical practice. 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 based on examination of the evidence from peer reviewed literature, recent research, feedback from course participants, and input from expert colleagues inside and outside Johns Hopkins. As the established leader in perioperative medicine, this course aims to provide practitioners with the most uptodate 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. Recognize the risks of perioperative anemia and transfusion as well as the risks and benefits of perioperative antithrombotic therapies, and list several strategies to reduce bleeding and thrombotic complications through evidence based approaches to blood management, coagulation testing, and pharmacologic interventions with antithrombotic and antifibrinolytic agents.
3. Describe the perioperative complications associated with diabetes, renal insufficiency, liver disease, delirium, and frailty, and list current evidence based management strategies to optimize outcomes in patients with these medical conditions.
4. Describe strategies to control acute postoperative pain, including in patients who chronically use opioids or cannabis, using multimodal analgesia, regional anesthesia, and novel nonopioid analgesics.
5. Recognize how to prevent, diagnose, and treat common healthcare associated infections that complicate surgical procedures.
6. Recognize the perioperative implications of pharmacologic therapies for hypertension, diabetes, obesity, heart failure, and immunomodulators and describe strategies to optimize outcomes through management of these medications perioperatively.
7. Recognize the impact of burnout and emotional exhaustion on clinician wellbeing and patient safety, and describe strategies to improve workforce wellbeing and the qualitysafety of clinical care for individual healthcare workers, patients, and the health system.
8. Recognize the growing use cases for artificial intelligence in perioperative medicine and its potential to alter clinical practice.
9. Recognize basic views for realtime 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. Recognize and interpret ultrasound views of peripheral nerve structures and how ultrasound can facilitate performance of peripheral nerve blocks for upper and lower extremity surgery (optional POCUS Workshop).
13. Recognize the causal role of gratitude in wellbeing (optional Wellness Workshop).
14. List several wellbeing improvements associated with awe and wonder interventions (optional Wellness Workshop).
