| ===The Surgical Case Reference=== | | === Articles === |
| The main focus during initial development is the surgical case reference: a concise but clinically comprehensive guide aimed to help any practitioner prepare for a case with which they are unfamiliar or do not perform regularly. The surgical case references contain the following sections:
| |
|
| |
|
| *Preoperative
| | === Notes === |
| **Descriptions of the patient population undergoing this procedure, common comorbidities, preoperative patient optimization, operating room preparation, and suitable regional/neuraxial techniques
| |
| *Intraoperative
| |
| **Considerations for induction and maintenance of anesthesia, airway management, monitoring, positioning, and the steps of the surgical procedure of relevance to the anesthesia practitioner
| |
| *Postoperative
| |
| **Considerations for emergence, disposition, and complications in the immediate postoperative period of relevance to the anesthesia practitioner
