Updates in Perioperative Medicine 2026: Evolution of the Evidence

Updates in Perioperative Medicine 2026: Evolution of the Evidence - On Demand 2026

Scrub in as the evidence evolves—apply pragmatic risk tools (AUB‑HAS2 over RCRI), update SGLT2 stopping windows, avoid routine ivabradine, and treat postop iron deficiency with IV iron. Along the way, recognize when liberal transfusion reduces non‑MI cardiac events and how 2–8 weeks of cessation counseling trims complications. Leave ready to synthesize trials into bedside choices for safer, smarter perioperative care.

Perioperative Medication Management

Rethink routine meds when the OR clock starts—your choices can tip bleeding, clotting, and hemodynamic stability. In this activity, analyze evidence and guidelines, recognize risks across antithrombotic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrine, neuropsychiatric, rheumatologic, and herbal therapies, assess continuation vs interruption, and manage timing through pragmatic algorithms and cases. Discontinue wisely and design plans that improve outcomes.

Newly Diagnosed Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation after Non-cardiothoracic Surgery

Sudden rhythm shifts after surgery demand swift, confident action. This case-driven course equips hospitalists to identify POAF risks and triggers, highlight key bedside clues, and outline a focused workup—ECG confirmation, targeted labs including Mg and TSH, and when to obtain TTE. You’ll propose and apply stepwise rate‑ vs rhythm‑control, make prudent anticoagulation choices, and design post-discharge monitoring that reduces complications and speeds recovery.
