Recorded at the Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) World Congress in London this piece dives into the importance of metabolic flexibility in perioperative care. We discuss the prevalence of metabolic inflexibility in patients undergoing surgery and its impact on postoperative complications alongside insights from recent studies and potential future interventions, emphasizing the importance of recognizing metabolic inflexibility as an important factor in clinical practice. The conversation concludes with a look at how this concept extends beyond perioperative care to overall health and wellness.
Presented by Andy Cumpstey with his guest John Whittle, consultant in anaesthesia, critical care and perioperative medicine at University College Hospitals and an honorary associate professor at University College London, UK.
