Postoperative issues in patients with chronic diseases
Amballur David John
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, USA
T
he management of patients with chronic diseases represents one of the fundamental challenges of modern medicine.
The range of acute processes that become chronic diseases is enormous and includes cardiovascular; cerebrovascular;
respiratory – asthma, COPD, ILD; endocrine diabetes, thyroid disorders, adrenal disorders, metabolic disorders; infectious –
viral, HIV, fungal; hematological – anemia, cancer; psychiatric, and neurodegenerative. Surgery represents an acute process
and sudden insult onto the baseline of chronic disease which specialists have extended a dedicated, deliberative effort in order
to maintain a balanced homeostatic state for the patient. Once surgery with its concomitant trauma and stress occurs, how does
one best address the acute postoperative issues involved and return patients to their fundamental underlying homeostatic state.
This represents an important challenge in the postoperative period.
