EPICC: Surgical stress response

ACE
Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine

Summary

For such a commonly clinically used expression, it is remarkable that the term „surgical stress“ remains so poorly defined. The surgical stress response is relevant and likely pivotal in determining the outcome of the surgical encounter, from diagnosis, preparation of surgery through to the more conventional understanding of its’ relevance, namely tissue trauma.
