Perioperative fluid therapy: a statement from the international Fluid Optimization Group

Laís Helena Navarro e Lima, Joshua A. Bloomstone, José Otávio Costa Auler Júnior et al. · 9 Apr 2015

BACKGROUND: Perioperative fluid therapy remains a highly debated topic. Its purpose is to maintain or restore effective circulating blood volume during the immediate perioperative period. Maintaining effective circulating blood volume and pressure are key components of assuring adequate organ perfusion while avoiding the risks associated with either organ hypo- or hyperperfusion. Relative to perioperative fluid…

American Society for Enhanced Recovery (ASER) and Perioperative Quality Initiative  (POQI) joint consensus statement on perioperative fluid management within an enhanced recovery pathway for colorectal surgery

For the Perioperative Quality Initiative (POQI) I Workgroup, Robert H. Thiele, Karthik Raghunathan et al. · 17 Sep 2016

BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery may be viewed as a comprehensive approach to improving meaningful outcomes in patients undergoing major surgery. Evidence to support enhanced recovery pathways (ERPs) is strong in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. There is some controversy about the adoption of specific elements in enhanced recovery "bundles" because the relative importance of different components of…

The rising tide of opioid use and abuse: the role of the anesthesiologist

Elena Koepke, Erin Manning, Timothy E. Miller et al. · 3 Jul 2018

Opioid use has risen dramatically in the past three decades. In the USA, opioid overdose has become a leading cause of unintentional death, surpassing motor vehicle accidents. A patient's first exposure to opioids may be during the perioperative period, a time where anesthesiologists have a significant role in pain management. Almost all patients in the…

Clinical agreement in the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification

Kayla M. Knuf, Christopher V. Maani, Adrienne Cummings · 19 Jun 2018

BACKGROUND: The American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS) classification is not intended to predict risk, but increasing ASA-PS class has been associated with increased perioperative mortality. The ASA-PS class is being used by many institutions to identify patients that may require further workup or exams preoperatively. Studies regarding the ASA-PS classification system show significant…

Re-designing the pathway to surgery: better care and added value

Michael P. W. Grocott, James Plumb, Mark Edwards et al. · 20 Jun 2017

The case for radical pathway re-design before surgery is in part driven by healthcare system pressures which are in turn the result of continuously rising demand in the face of tightly constrained resources. Such circumstances tend to drive revolutionary, rather than incremental, change. The current approach to preoperative assessment, that typically occurs in the weeks…
