Perioperative Medicine Summit 2019 1.05 | Frances Chung and Kurt Pfeifer

Feb 15, 2019

Conversation begins with reflections on the conference and the impact of social media, Twitter, Facebook and so forth, on the global perioperative scene before tucking into some of the big stories that are emerging from the conference. Learn more about STOP BANG; Snoring, Tiredness, Observed Apnea, PBP (>140/90) R X or no. How do opioid sensitivity and obstructive sleep apnea effect each other?

 

The opioid crisis, pain as the fifth vital sign and multimodal pain management produce some fascinating discussion, followed by comparisons between healthcare in various territories, Canada, the UK and the US.

 

Finally, what is "the beard test" and "the upper lip bite test"?
