"One of the challenges I have observed from my anesthesia rotations is disagreements between the surgical and anesthesia teams on issues such as intraoperative fluid management. For myself, I will try to talk to the surgeons before more complex surgeries, such as traumas or organ transplants to reduce the risk of intraoperative disagreements. I also will focus on reading anesthesia texts so that I can make evidence-based arguments during these disagreements. In the event that I have a disagreement with the surgery team that I cannot resolve and has potential to affect my patient's care, I will call my attending for guidance."
