About Johns Hopkins Perioperative Management 2026
Johns Hopkins Perioperative Management – In Its 41st Year 2026 is designed for clinicians who care for surgical patients across the entire perioperative pathway—from preoperative assessment and optimization to intraoperative decision-making, PACU management, postoperative complications, and recovery.
As surgical populations become older and more medically complex, clinicians must integrate rapidly evolving evidence from multiple disciplines. This program brings together perioperative medicine, anesthesiology, cardiology, pulmonology, hematology, infectious disease, nephrology, endocrinology, geriatrics, surgery, and critical care to address common and high-risk clinical problems using current evidence-based strategies.
Key 2026 themes include: updated cardiac and pulmonary risk assessment, perioperative myocardial injury, DOAC and antiplatelet management, POCUS, hemodynamic optimization, difficult airway and sedation safety, diabetes and renal dysfunction, multimodal pain strategies, suzetrigine and cannabis, infection prevention, frailty and delirium, ERAS, continuous physiologic monitoring, clinician wellbeing, and emerging applications of artificial intelligence in perioperative medicine.
