With Summaries of Emerging Evidence (SEE), discover thought-provoking questions and discussions that challenge your thinking. Earn up to 60 CME credits.
Your next patient is scheduled for a pancreatoduodenectomy. You are concerned about the risk of surgical site infection and are considering options for perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis. According to a recent study comparing a cephalosporin (cefoxitin) against a broad-spectrum antimicrobial combination (piperacillin-tazobactam), which of the following is the MOST likely outcome with the administration of piperacillin-tazobactam?
(A) Longer hospital stay
(B) Higher rate of mortality
(C) Lower rate of surgical site infection
Summaries of Emerging Evidence (SEE) is a self-study continuing education program that highlights important findings from more than 30 scientific medical journals, keeping readers informed about emerging knowledge in the scientific literature and how it can impact and improve the current practice of anesthesiology. Each issue contains 100 new multiple-choice questions and discussions (200 per annual subscription) to help readers stay up-to-date on the scientific literature. The broad range of topics include anesthesia techniques, cardiac anesthesia, critical care, pain medicine, pediatric anesthesia, perioperative medicine, pharmacology, and many more. Here's how SEE transforms the way you learn:
ACE, SEE, Fundamentals of Patient Safety, and Patient Safety Highlights are included free in your Early-Career Education Package, so you don’t need to purchase these courses!

“An easy and cost-effective way to evaluate one's knowledge base, be exposed to some of the latest trends and recommendations in anesthesia care, and earn CME credits.”
“I never cease to be amazed at the diversity of questions and reminders of how much reading we need to do to maintain a scientific basis for the care of our patients as well as the understanding of the literature.”
“I do this every year to stay current with information I may not have seen over the year, especially outside of my realm of practice. I think it would benefit all anesthesiologists.”
“I thought the SEE program was a CME source with little relevance to my private practice. I imagined questions asking about the study of rat muscle after halothane exposure. I could not have been more incorrect! The questions and discussions are incredibly useful and directly applicable to my daily practice of anesthesia. I believe it is THE source for the latest relevant information in private practice anesthesia for patient care. SEE is both highly approachable and ultimately useful, I could not recommend it more.”
