Hospitalized patients with diabetes require specific medical management in order to minimize the risk of hyperglycemia. This requires hospitalists to have an understanding of methods for glycemic control in both the critically ill and noncritically ill patient. This module, which focuses on the critically ill hospitalized patient, is part of a 2-part series that will evaluate the current scientific evidence regarding glycemic control and discuss how to formulate preoperative and postoperative intensive care unit plans. In addition, a thorough review of the evidence for intraoperative glycemic control and a discussion of how to transition patients off of an insulin drip are provided.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has an increased incidence in the surgical population compared to the general patient population. The link between OSA and cardiac disease has been well established, although sleep apnea has also been associated with several other postoperative complications, the most feared being respiratory arrest. The following module discusses these aspects of OSA and the different screening tools available to clinicians. A discussion of the logistical barriers to managing OSA and the options for treatment is included to help hospitalists successfully identify and manage these patients during the perioperative period.

Hip fractures are a frequent cause of hospitalization in the elderly population. As the population continues to age, the incidence is expected to increase. Since many patients with hip fracture suffer from multiple medical comorbidities, hospitalists play a critical role in their care. Management of these patients requires knowledge of multiple consultative medicine topics including preoperative cardiac and pulmonary risk stratification and reduction strategies, venous thromboembolism prevention, and diagnosis and management of common postoperative complications. Open lines of communication between the hospitalist, surgeon, and anesthesiologist are essential to optimize patient care.

Although obstetricians play the most critical role in the health of a pregnant woman and her fetus, the internist’s skills are also often needed to assure their health. From caring for chronic medical illnesses during pregnancy to diagnosing and managing acute medical complications of pregnancy, the internist must comfortably practice obstetric medicine. The following module discusses these important topics and explains how to provide a cost-effective and evidence-based preoperative evaluation of a pregnant patient. In addition, a discussion of the use of appropriate intraoperative and postoperative interventions and methods for employing an evidence-based approach to prescribing medications in pregnant patients is included.

Ensuring optimal nutrition for the hospitalized patient is a complex issue fraught with several pitfalls for clinicians as they asses the patient’s nutritional status and determine the caloric needs and appropriate delivery method. Many factors need to be considered when creating this patient-specific plan. The following module discusses these issues and outlines the various dietary formulations (ie, oral, enteral nutrition, and parenteral nutrition). Step-by-step guidance for how to implement a nutritional plan for the different types of hospitalized patients that hospitalists encounter also is provided.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in the postoperative period. It is important that hospitalists understand the current management of postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) because it is a frequent reason for consultation. Postoperative AF after noncardiac surgery has been associated with risk of thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, and mortality. The following module addresses the incidence, natural history, risk factors, prevention, clinical significance, evaluation, and management of newly diagnosed postoperative AF after non-cardiothoracic surgery.

Successful neurosurgery co-management requires hospitalists to be familiar with the presentations, disease processes, management, and complications of neurosurgical inpatients. The first and longest section of this module summarizes common inpatient neurosurgical conditions. The second section prepares the reader to recognize and act on neurosurgical emergencies. The remaining four sections of the module provide more detail on the medical management of neurosurgical conditions. These sections cover blood pressure management in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, sodium abnormalities in patients with brain tumors, the use of mannitol vs. dexamethasone, and the perioperative management of anticoagulants, in addition to other topics.
