PRE-OP EXAMINATION
If you are scheduled for surgery, you must first undergo a preoperative (preop) examination that helps your doctors identify any possible problems beforehand. If possible, you should get a preop exam at least several weeks before your surgery. This gives your doctors a chance to integrate the results into their surgical plans and possibly treat any conditions that raise your risk for complications.
The goal of a preop exam is to identify health factors that may increase your risk for potentially life-threatening complications, such as:
-
Infections
-
Respiratory problems
-
Cardiac problems
During your preoperative exam, your doctor evaluates your heart and lungs, and other variables. They may also order a chest X-ray or do an electrocardiogram (EKG) which checks for heart rhythm for any irregularities.
You will also discuss your medical and family medical history and review any medications you’re currently taking. Your doctor may change your prescriptions or recommend you refrain from certain medications and herbs before surgery. You must also quit smoking 6-8 weeks before surgery.
The results of your preop exam also help your doctors and anesthesiologist plan your surgery and anticipate your anesthesia needs.
