  1. Kottke-marchant, Kandice

    1. The preoperative bleeding time test: assessing its clinical usefulness
      Amy S. Gewirtz, MD, Kandice Kottke-Marchant, MD, PhD and Michael L. Miller, DO
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 379-382;

      Because of the bleeding time test's low value in predicting perioperative bleeding, it should be abandoned as a routine screening test.

  2. Longworth, David L.

    1. Postoperative confusion in a 42-year-old man
      David L. Longworth, MD, James K. Stoller, MD and J. Harry Isaacson, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 370-371;

      Recognizing the cause of postoperative confusion and treating the problem: a self-test

    2. A 55-year-old man with chronic liver disease and coagulation abnormalities
      Charles Anderson, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 372-373;

      Assessing the effect of cirrhosis on coagulation and preventing perioperative bleeding: a self-test

  3. Marwick, Thomas H.

    1. Evaluating cardiac risk in noncardiac surgery patients
      David L. Bronson, MD, Alan K. Halperin, MD and Thomas H. Marwick, MD, PhD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 391-400;

      The history, examination, and resting EKG are the cornerstone of cardiac risk assessment, but new techniques are available for questionable cases.

  4. Mayer, Mark E.

    1. Postoperative pulmonary complications: risk assessment, prevention, and treatment
      Stephen P. Hayden, MD, Mark E. Mayer, MD and James K. Stoller, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 401-407;

      Preoperative pulmonary function testing is needed only in high-risk patients; proper management can decrease the risk.

  5. Merli, Geno

    1. Deep venous thrombosis: low-molecular-weight heparins in perioperative prophylaxis
      Geno Merli, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 368-369;

      Although low-molecular weight heparins have theoretical advantages over standard heparin in preventing DVT, the differences in outcome have not been dramatic. The important issue is to give some form of prophylactic therapy.

  6. Miller, Donna L.

    1. Perioperative care of the elderly patient: special considerations
      Donna L. Miller, DO
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 383-390;

      For the elderly, surgical risk factors such as underlying disease or the nature of the surgery are more important than age alone. A preoperative assessment can help define risk.

  7. Miller, Michael L.

    1. The preoperative bleeding time test: assessing its clinical usefulness
      Amy S. Gewirtz, MD, Kandice Kottke-Marchant, MD, PhD and Michael L. Miller, DO
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 379-382;

      Because of the bleeding time test's low value in predicting perioperative bleeding, it should be abandoned as a routine screening test.

  8. Razavi, Mehdi

    1. Acute dissection of the aorta: options for diagnostic imaging
      Mehdi Razavi, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 360-365;

      Although medical therapy should be started as soon as dissection of the aorta is suspected, new imaging methods help confirm the diagnosis.

  9. Stoller, James K.

    1. Postoperative confusion in a 42-year-old man
      David L. Longworth, MD, James K. Stoller, MD and J. Harry Isaacson, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 370-371;

      Recognizing the cause of postoperative confusion and treating the problem: a self-test

    2. Postoperative pulmonary complications: risk assessment, prevention, and treatment
      Stephen P. Hayden, MD, Mark E. Mayer, MD and James K. Stoller, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 401-407;

      Preoperative pulmonary function testing is needed only in high-risk patients; proper management can decrease the risk.

    3. A 55-year-old man with chronic liver disease and coagulation abnormalities
      Charles Anderson, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 372-373;

      Assessing the effect of cirrhosis on coagulation and preventing perioperative bleeding: a self-test

  10. Vidt, Donald G.

    1. Methotrexate in rheumatoid arthritis: when NSAIDs fail
      John A. Flynn, MD and David B. Hellmann, MD
      Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine November 1995, 62 (6) 351-359;

      With diligent monitoring, low-dose methotrexate is effective for treating selected patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and it is safer than previously thought.
