Dr. Elliott Bennett-Guerrero is a professor and a Department of Anesthesiology vice chair at the Stony Brook School of Medicine in Stony Brook, New York. Dr. Elliott Bennett-Guerrero also serves Stony Brook as medical director of perioperative quality and patient safety.
The medical term “perioperative” refers to the entire process and experience of a surgical procedure, which includes the preoperative (before the procedure), intraoperative (during the procedure), and postoperative (after the procedure) phases. While it generally refers to all clinical activities and patient stages that occur between medical center arrival and release, perioperative care can also encompass long periods of outpatient preparation and recovery. Historically, surgical preoperative and postoperative care have been given lesser attention. Medical practitioners with a perioperative focus are dedicated to enhancing these care phases and seamlessly integrating them with intraoperative procedures to create a unified approach. This holistic approach strives to improve overall patient experience and medical outcomes in areas ranging from cost of care to recovery times.
