ISPCOP Mission
“To promote excellence in clinical management, research and
education in the perioperative care of the obese patient”
Welcome to the ISPCOP Website
The International Society for the Perioperative Care of the
Obese Patient (ISPCOP), is a multidisciplinary world-wide
scientific organization founded in Las Vegas during 2004 ASA
(American Society of Anesthesiology) Annual Meeting. A group of
committed physicians from different countries and medical
specialties joined together at that moment with the spirit of
focusing their efforts in order to raise the standard of care
in, and to promote education and research of, the perioperative
management of the obese surgical population.
Our intention in creating the ISPCOP is to spread knowledge
about this topic both to, through, and for our medical and
surgical colleagues, and to the general public, utilizing a
dynamic multi-directional process of information exchange.
Following this line of reasoning, we are persuaded that the
ISPCOP Website will become a powerful and indispensable tool.
We encourage you to visit this site and share your ideas with
us.
