Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This collection of case studies is designed to illustrate challenging and controversial aspects of perioperative medicine. The authors guide readers through four case narratives punctuated by practical multiple-choice questions followed by the authors' commentary on the evidence supporting various answer choices and related considerations. The objective is to examine issues and key evidence that should inform the decision-making process in important aspects of perioperative management.
