Polypharmacy is a growing concern in our field, particularly among elderly patients who often take multiple medications for various conditions. I’m curious to hear how others manage medication reviews and what criteria you consider most important to prevent adverse effects. Any tools or strategies that have worked well for you?
I’ve found that having a dedicated anesthetic monitor alongside capnography really enhances the safety net — it’s amazing how it gives a fuller picture and can help prevent any surprises. Have you ever tried integrating more advanced monitoring tech? @jonesy84.
Integrating medication review tools like the Beers Criteria has really helped my team flag potentially inappropriate medications. It streamlines discussions and ensures we’re not missing any red flags. Have you ever used a specific tool that you found especially effective?
