Periop SIG18 | How do we minimise failure to rescue in the post operative period?

How important is it to triage the patient? Which triage tool should we use? How do we determine which of our surgical patients is most at risk? Which procedures carry the highest risks? What should our approach be towards managing patient deterioration? What about when it comes to acute clinical deterioration? What, in terms of research and technology, can we expect in the future to help us? The slides for this piece are here: http://www.anzca.edu.au/documents/03-imogen-mitchell_how-do-we-minimise-failure.pdf Presented by Imogen Mitchell, Senior Staff Specialist, ICU, the Canberra Hospital, Dean, ANU Medical School. -- Brought to you by the Perioperative Medicine Special Interest Group (SIG) in association with the Australian and New Zealand Society for Geriatric Medicine and the Internal Medicine Society of Australia and New Zealand at the 7th annual Australasian Symposium of Perioperative Medicine.
