Preoperative Assessment for Ambulatory Anesthesia
The preoperative assessment is an essential part of ambulatory anesthesia. It allows the anesthesiologist to evaluate the patient's medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests to identify any potential risks for anesthesia. The preoperative assessment also provides an opportunity to educate the patient about the anesthetic procedure and answer any questions that they may have.
