    The ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) guidelines provide a framework for assessing a patient's health before anesthesia and surgery. They categorize patients into classes based on their physical condition, from healthy individuals to those with severe systemic issues. This classification helps doctors evaluate risks and make informed decisions regarding anesthesia techniques, monitoring, and post-operative care. The guidelines aim to enhance patient safety, minimize complications, and ensure effective communication among healthcare providers about a patient’s health status. By following these standards, medical teams can better manage anesthesia during surgeries and support patients throughout the process.
