Increased presurgical awareness and implementation of a perioperative management algorithm is needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599818771540","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,24]],"date-time":"2018-04-24T16:02:57Z","timestamp":1524585777000},"page":"1140-1147","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Risk
