Welcome to Perioperative Medicine for the Public 101

Hi, my name is Dr. Noela Mogga, and I’m an anesthesiologist. Welcome to my course, Perioperative Medicine for the Public 101. In this short course, I’ll be addressing common questions and concerns that patients have when undergoing surgery. Using short-form media, I’ll guide you through essential topics to help you feel more informed and prepared.

What This Course Covers

• Risk factors for anesthesia
• The consent process
• A step-by-step journey through surgery
• Common medical conditions and their effects on anesthesia, such as:
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Kidney disease
  • And many others

This course is specifically designed for the public, patients, and caregivers, rather than medical professionals. My goal is to make complex medical information accessible and easy to understand for everyone.
