ASMBS ER Care Poster
The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) created an emergency care flow chart specifically designed for use in the care of the Bariatric Surgery Patient. It was created with a "flow chart" design for the purpose of assisting the Emergency Room Doctor in diagnosing and caring for complications which may be encountered with regard to the Bariatric Surgery Patient.
This poster is provided FREE of charge from The ASMBS as a "download" from this site. The download is in PDF format and can be reprinted as a poster by the printer of your choice.
I have printed a copies to keep in my purse, my cars and to take to my doctors office.
I hope that you find this information helpful.
