Abstract:
Due to changes in the cultural, political, and social landscape regarding gender identity, transgender patients often encounter significant levels of transphobia and discrimination within health care environments. As this population grows, anesthesiology professionals are increasingly likely to care for transgender and gender-diverse patients undergoing both gender-affirming and non-gender-affirming procedures. The aim of this review is to equip anesthesiology professionals with a culturally sensitive and evidence-based framework for effectively managing transgender and gender-diverse patients throughout the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases.
