This annual review is intended to meet this need and provide pertinent new perioperative literature that impacts patient care. This session focuses on key areas within perioperative and consultative medicine, including cardiovascular care, pulmonary risk, hematologic management, and other aspects of perioperative care. Publications identified by a comprehensive literature review. Each paper is presented within the context of a patient care scenario, and practical advice will be provided on applying the findings to patient care.
