AB The  neurohospitalist  has  the  responsibility  of  caring  for  the  hospitalized  medically  fragile  neurological  patient  but  also  understanding  the  risk  stratification  for  surgery  and  the  potential  anesthetic  and  medical  complications  that  are  unique  to  neurological  patients  who  are  having  emergent  or  elective  procedures.  The  neurohospitalist  should  be  able  to  describe  the  relative  surgical  risk  to  the  patient.  Protocols  for  stratifying  surgical  risk  have  been  developed,  some  of  which  are  available  as  apps  on  digital  devices.  Where  possible  we  have  mentioned  whether  an  app  is  currently  available.
