It assists in identifying/ stratification the patients at higher risk of complications so that they may be offered alternative options or get a de-intensified treatment. It also covers the determinants/predictors—clinical alarm signs or the safety flags associated with specific high-risk procedures.

Preventive Strategies

The chapters are designed to offer a preventive strategy to reduce the incidence of complications, such as the early introduction of corrective measures, supportive care measures, and refining the procedure in case of anticipated risk of certain complications.

Management and Treatment Policies

The manual addresses the management strategies of complications and will propose a formulation of treatment policies as per the severity of the disease. It includes discussion on evidence-based treatment strategies and recent advances in management.
