Guidelines: Perioperative Medication
Are you looking to deepen your understanding of perioperative medication? Join us for the first episode of 2025, where we offer listeners an author insight into the recently published ‘2024 EACTS Guidelines on perioperative medication in adult cardiac surgery’. With working group members Anders Jeppsson and Emma Hansson, our host Miia L Lehtinen explores the fundamental intricacies considered to ensure these diverse guidelines are current and clinically applicable. Discussions include how the varied specialities of clinical intervention contribute to individual patient needs, including indication specific medication schedules, and the nuanced effects these bring to patients.
We also encourage our listeners to view the recently published perioperative guidelines here.
