Summary
Two issues relate to prescribing for the surgical patient: managing their previous medication during the metabolically stressful and starved perioperative period, and prescribing drugs required as a consequence of surgery. The author considers both issues, with particular attention paid to perioperative anticoagulation, fluids and analgesia, and prophylaxis.
