EPA Playbook: Perioperative Care of Critically Ill Patient

In this episode of EPA Playbook, Drs. Kevin Kniery, Emma Burke, and Agnes Premkumar discuss management of critically ill surgical patients, using case-based discussions to reinforce core principles of shock, resuscitation, and ICU care. We first review the four major types of shock. We then discuss two cases centered around managing a patient in septic shock and cardiogenic shock, delving into the nuances on how management differs between the two. Additionally, we underscore a physiology-driven approach to critical care, the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, and the need to align treatment decisions with patient goals and values. ***FREE EPA COURSE: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/epa-playbookSimply create an account on behindtheknife.org or our app and you the course will automatically show up in your Library.For additional information on EPAs, visit the American Board of Surgery EPA webpage: https://www.absurgery.org/get-certified/epas/.
