ABSTRACT
Like most complex aspects of procedural care, sound perioperative management of limits to life-sustaining medical therapy requires a multidisciplinary team-based approach bolstered by appropriate care management strategies. This article discusses the implications of care for the patient for whom limitations of life-sustaining care are in place and the roles and responsibilities of each provider in supporting quality procedural care compatible with patients' right to self-determination. The authors focus on the roles of the surgeon, preoperative clinic provider, anesthesiologist, and postoperative care consultants and discuss how the health care system and care pathways can support and improve adherence to best practices.
