Perioperative Risk Assessment

Perioperative risk assessment is a process doctors use to evaluate a patient’s health before surgery. It helps identify potential complications or health issues that could arise during or after the procedure. By reviewing medical history, current conditions, and overall health, healthcare providers can determine the safest way to proceed, plan necessary precautions, or suggest alternatives if needed. The goal is to minimize risks, ensure patient safety, and improve the chances of a successful outcome. It’s an essential step in preparing for surgery that promotes informed decision-making and personalized care.
