The complexity of perioperative care has never been higher. Anesthesiologists in the ICU and the OR all mutually benefit from continual, strong academic collaboration. Research insights from the ICU regarding cardiopulmonary management can be high yield for the operating room anesthesiologist. We aim to provide robust, data-driven, anesthesia-led perioperative care, in and out of the operating room.
