Perioperative Medicine

Perioperative medicine is a rapidly emerging field of medicine that is focused on optimizing patient care during the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative stages of a surgical procedure. Perioperative medicine focuses on optimizing the safe and effective transition of a patient from one care setting to the next. It is dedicated to the prevention and management of perioperative complications and prevention of surgical site infections. The ultimate goal is to prevent adverse events associated with surgery and improve the overall patient experience. Perioperative Medicine provides a wide range of services, including preoperative risk assessment, preoperative planning, personalized plans for perioperative care, and postoperative follow-up. Perioperative Medicine is a key component of patient-centered care and is essential to ensure optimal patient outcomes and experience.
