Recommendations for effective documentation in regional anesthesia: an expert panel Delphi consensus project.

Background And Objectives: Documentation is important for quality improvement, education, and research. There is currently a lack of recommendations regarding key aspects of documentation in regional anesthesia. The aim of this study was to establish recommendations for documentation in regional anesthesia.

Cardiac Prehabilitation.

The care of patients undergoing cardiac surgery is becoming more complex, in part owing to the increasing burden of comorbid disease, frailty, and psychosocial issues. Many risk factors for postoperative morbidity and mortality are potentially modifiable if identified and treated in a timely fashion before surgery. Cardiac prehabilitation, draws from strategies currently undertaken in cardiac rehabilitation but implements them proactively rather than reactively.
