PY - 2021 T2 - Decision Making in Perioperative Medicine: Clinical Pearls AB - Patients with rheumatic diseases often have multiple comorbidities that can affect surgical outcome. In addition, these patients are often on medications that can cause immunosuppression and increase the risk of infection. It is critical that these patients be evaluated preoperatively so that the patient’s health can be maximized and a plan with medicine, anesthesia, and surgery be coordinated preoperatively.
