  • Summary

  • You're the new intern on your first night of night float. First page, right off the bat – AFib with rates into the 150s. What's your next move?! Dr. Nathan Anderson takes the anxiety out of approaching Atrial Fibrillation in the post-operative patient. Join him and Dr. Elizabeth Maginot as they discuss this very common post-operative you're guaranteed to see on the wards.

    Hosts:
    - Dr. Nathan Anderson, Internal Medicine Associate Professor and Hospitalist, University of Nebraska
    - Dr. Elizabeth Maginot, General Surgery Resident and BTK Surgical Education Fellow, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Twitter: @e_magination95

    Learning Objectives:
    - Discuss the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms that contribute to the development of atrial fibrillation in the postoperative setting.
    - Critically approach the different management options for atrial fibrillation in the post-cardiac and non-cardiac surgery settings, including rate versus rhythm control, indications for cardioversion, and the role of anticoagulation.
    - Identify common risk factors for atrial fibrillation in the post-operative setting.
    - Discuss long-term management and follow-up strategies for patients who develop atrial fibrillation after surgery.
