Challenging patient groups

This article focuses on those patients that do not necessarily fit a systems-based approach of classification. Many of these patients present challenges to the clinicians involved with perioperative care and so it is important to have a good understanding of how they should be managed. This article will focus on elderly patients, pregnant patients presenting for non-obstetric surgery, obese patients and immunocompromised patients.
