Abstract
Recent literature published in a variety of multidisciplinary journals has significantly
influenced perioperative patient care. Distilling and synthetizing the clinically
important literature can be challenging. This review summarizes practice changing
articles in perioperative medicine from the years 2020 and 2021. Embase, Ovid, and
EBM reviews databases were queried from January 2020 to December 2021. Inclusion criteria
were original research, systematic review, metaanalysis, and important guidelines.
Exclusion criteria were conference abstracts, case reports, letters, protocols, pediatric
and obstetric articles, and cardiac surgery literature. Two authors reviewed each
reference using the Distiller SR systematic review software (Evidence Partners Inc.,
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). A modified Delphi technique was used to identify nine practice
changing articles. We identified another 13 articles for tabular summaries as they
were relevant to an internist's perioperative evaluation of a patient. Articles were
selected to highlight the clinical implications of new evidence in each field. We
have also pointed out limitations of each study and clinical populations where they
are not applicable.
