  • Optimising the elderly patient's perioperative journey: Shared Decision Making
    Jun 16 2026

    Host: Dr Cynthia Olotu (Germany)
    Speaker: Dr Mark Neuman (USA)

    Is Shared Decision Making (SDM) applicable in the field of anaesthesiology? In this episode, Dr Mark Neuman discusses, with Dr Cynthia Olotu, the many ways that SDM can be implemented in the anaesthesiologist’s daily practice. They detail how to productively involve your patient and frame these conversations. SDM is not about diluting responsibility but, on the contrary, about strengthening decisions through expanded understanding.
