In recent years anesthesiologists have developed a more active role in the entire peri-operative period-from the decision for surgery, through recovery, discharge and beyond. In addition, the core training curriculum of anesthesiology has changed significantly to now include many non-operating room anesthesia rotations.General anesthesiology texts include varying degrees of perioperative management information, and a few titles are devoted specifically to the area. However, none combines a problem-based approach with review questions and answers with explanations. Following the format of the Anesthesiology Problem-Based Learning Approach series, each chapter in Perioperative Medicine describes a specific condition or situation and a virtual case presented through a series of questions and answers. With 48 chapters covering a broad array of conundrums encountered in clinical perioperative medicine, the text focuses on preoperative optimization of patients with different comorbidities, such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes mellitus, cirrhosis, substance use disorder, and anemia. Sections on how to choose preoperative tests, medication management, and handling ethical issues, like informed consent, DNR, and uncomfortable conversations with patients, are discussed in detail. Perioperative Medicine: A Problem-Based Learning Approach provides an up-to-date compendium of topics commonly presenting in daily practice and serves as a unique learning opportunity for the busy perioperative clinician approaching a new case and for clinicians in training who need to learn the basics.
