Key result
Fictional case study outlines physiological stress responses throughout the perioperative journey.
Why the study?
An understanding of normal and altered physiology is essential to identify risk factors and implement appropriate interventions in patients undergoing surgery.

Case-based physiology review aids perioperative risk identification; leaves open prospective trials to confirm intervention efficacy.
An understanding of normal and altered physiology is essential in identifying risk factors in patients undergoing surgery and allows appropriate interventions to be implemented. This article explores a fictional case study to examine the physiological responses throughout the patient's perioperative journey, primarily through discussion of typically observed clinical monitoring data. Particular attention will be given to the role of the cardiovascular, nervous and endocrine systems in maintaining homeostasis through their interactions with other body systems. The physiological stress response will be described, highlighting its effects on these homeostatic mechanisms.
