Summary
Patients with liver disease who undergo surgery, whether elective or emergent, are at increased risk for complications. In patients with cirrhosis, perioperative morbidity and mortality vary depending on the type of surgery. An accurate assessment of the presence and severity of acute or chronic liver disease is necessary to plan for perioperative management. Although most patients should continue liver-directed therapies, adjustments in medications may be necessary for certain liver diseases. This module outlines the risk associated with different types of surgery and identifies the elements of the preoperative evaluation for patients with cirrhosis. The influences on morbidity and mortality and formulation of pre- and postoperative care plans are reviewed as well.
Goal
To provide hospitalists with up-to-date information about perioperative cirrhosis management.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for hospitalists. No prerequisites required.
Learning Objectives
After completing the module, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:
- Evaluate whether liver disease severity influences perioperative morbidity and mortality.

- Identify the elements of the preoperative evaluation for a patient with cirrhosis including how to manage medications on the day of surgery.
