A doctor of medicine who has completed extensive clinical research, Dr. Elliott Bennett-Guerrero has been professor and vice chair for clinical research at the Stony Brook School of Medicine Department of Anesthesiology since 2005. Dr. Elliott Bennett-Guerrero is also Stony Brook’s medical director for perioperative quality and patient safety.
Defined by its prefix “peri,” which means “around” or “about,” the term “perioperative” refers to the entire on-site surgical process, ranging from the moment that a patient first considers surgery to the moment that he or she receives a postoperative discharge. Encompassing all phases and aspects of the surgical process in the broadest sense, perioperative is a multidisciplinary specialty that is uniquely centered on the patient. Taking a truly holistic approach to treatment progression, perioperative medicine runs contrary to traditional models that are categorized and divided by stages of care (for example, preoperative, operative, and postoperative) or areas of professional activity (for example, the administration of anesthetics and the use of monitoring equipment). Through its wide purview, perioperative medicine can better assess overall success when it comes to meeting patient needs.elliottbennettguerrero.wordpress.com/
