Road to Perioperative Medicine: A Perspective From China.

Road to Perioperative Medicine: A Perspective From China. Anesth Analg. 2019 Sep;129(3):905-907 Authors: Wang T, Deng X, Huang Y, Fleisher LA, Xiong L Abstract With the development of anesthesiology, patient safety has been remarkably improved, but the postoperative mortality rate at 30 days is still as high as 0.56%-4%, and the morbidity is even higher. Three years ago, the Chinese Society of Anesthesiology proposed that the direction of the anesthesiology development should be changed to perioperative medicine in China. Anesthesiologists should pay more attention to the long-term outcome. In this article, we introduced what we have done, what the challenges are, and what we should do in the future with regard to the practice of perioperative medicine in China.
