Abstract

Preoperative assessment: provides an evaluation of the patient’s anesthetic risk for the proposed procedure, and allows recommendations to be made that help maximize patient safety. The anesthetic risk evaluation is based on the knowledge of the patient and the surgery. The goals of a preoperative assessment include a history and physical examination (including airway evaluation, medication usage, and past anesthetic and surgical experiences), control of comorbidities and perioperative diseases, laboratory and cardiac testing as indicated, anesthetic risk assessment, anesthetic plan formulation, and patient education and informed consent. Significant abnormalities detected by the patient’s history, physical exam, and associate risk factors may necessitate further testing and evaluation if it will affect the patient’s treatment, management, or outcomes.
