Perioperative Clinical Vignettes

A clinical vignette is a report of one or more cases that illustrates a new disease entity or a prominent or unusual clinical feature of an established disease, highlights an area of clinical controversy in perioperative medicine, or illustrates a unique patient safety issue. It may include a summary of pertinent patient history, physical findings, laboratory data, or management description. It should be clear from the discussion portion of the abstract why the vignette is most appropriate for a perioperative medicine (versus general internal medicine, hospital medicine, or anesthesiology) competition. Clinical vignettes will be judged on originality, organization, writing ability, and relevance to perioperative medicine.

Abstracts submitted for the clinical vignette category should adhere to these headings:

• Case presentation
• Discussion
• Conclusions
