Do you know how to talk to patients about cannabis use before surgery? New guidelines are here to help. #physaneswk23 @ESchwenkMD @EugeneViscusiMD

[Maryland Addiction Consultation Service @Maryland_MACS]

New @ASRA_society guidelines suggest screening all patients for cannabis use prior to surgery: https://t.co/4DroRbMQZo. Discussing substance use with patients in a nonjudgmental, factual way is crucial for effective care. Call MACS for support with SUD screening. #PhysAnesWk23
