Anesthesia evaluation
Anesthesia evaluation is a comprehensive assessment performed by an anesthesiologist before surgery to ensure patient safety. It involves reviewing medical history, current health status, medications, allergies, and previous anesthesia experiences. The evaluation helps identify any potential risks or complications and determines the most appropriate anesthesia plan—whether local, regional, or general. Physical examinations and possibly laboratory tests may be conducted. This process allows the anesthesiologist to tailor anesthesia care, monitor vital signs during surgery, and ensure a safe and comfortable experience for the patient.
