Perioperative Enhancement Teams - Part 2 | TopMedTalk

Perioperative enhancement teams have been a theme on TopMedTalk for years. This program, part two of two, goes into more detail around what could be the crucial next steps for your institution as it distinguishes itself from the pack with excellent value based care instead of excessive volume driven disasters. In this program we cover the importance of prehabilitation, the need for respect in a multidisciplinary team, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), a centre for geriatric surgery and palliative care and perioperative smoking cessation clinics.
