AB A  Scottish  physician  and  metabolism  researcher  named  Dr  David  Cuthbertson  first  reported  on  the  metabolic  consequences  of  surgery  in  1932  when  he  coined  the  term  “ebbs  and  flows”  when  studying  the  effects  of  lower  limb  injury.  Since  that  time  scientific  study  has  added  a  great  deal  more  to  what  we  know  about  the  physiological  response  to  surgery,  and  understanding  this  response  lends  itself  to  more  effective  management,  including  mitigating  risks  of  the  surgical  patient.
