Integrating perioperative medicine with anaesthesia in India: Can the best be achieved? A review

S B Shah et al. Indian J Anaesth. 2019 May.

Abstract

Integrating perioperative medicine with anaesthesia is the need of the hour. Evolution of a new superspeciality called perioperative anaesthesia can improve surgical outcomes by quality perioperative care and guarantee imminent escalation of influence and power for anaesthesiologists. All original peer-reviewed manuscripts pertaining to surgery-specific perioperative surgical home models involving preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative initiatives spanning the past 5 years have been reviewed using PubMed and Google Scholar. Whether the perioperative surgical home model is feasible or still a distant dream in the Indian perspective has been analysed.

Keywords: Enhanced recovery after surgery; perioperative medicine; surgical home.
