The Perioperative Care Congress 2021 had a strong (virtual) program, and was well-attended by perioperative professionals from around the world November 11 – 14. Hosted by the Society for Perioperative Research and Care (SPRC), the congress this year included: bariatric, cardiac and ortho surgery; ERAS; several PHRI trials; anesthesia and postoperative pain; and more.
PHIR presenters included Scientist Richard Whitlock (LAAOS III); Investigator Emilie Belley-Cote (VISION Cardiac Surgery); Investigator Flavia Borges (HIP ATTACK-1); Scientist Michael McGillion (SMArTVIEW); and Senior Scientist PJ Devereaux (PVC-RAM-1).
Here are a few highlights from PHRI and others live-tweeting the event:
