Popis: Preoperative medical consultation, including risk stratification and risk reduction strategies, is an important function of internists and hospitalists. This article is a summary of the Update in Perioperative Medicine presentation from the 33rd Annual Meeting of the Society of General Internal Medicine. We performed a Medline search of the relevant literature from February 1, 2009 through February 1, 2010 using the medical subject heading (MeSH) terms preoperative care, intraoperative care, perioperative care, postoperative care, preoperative period, intraoperative period, intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, venous thromboembolism, and noncardiac surgery. We added the text words: intraoperative OR perioperative OR postoperative AND/OR complication OR event and excluded studies of transplantation surgery, cardiac surgery, and pediatric surgery. We selected for review 11 articles most likely to shape the practice of perioperative medicine.
