AB Preanesthesia  assessment  is  the  process  of  clinical  evaluation  prior  to  the  delivery  of  anesthesia  in  patients  undergoing  both  surgical  and  nonsurgical  procedures.  This  process  includes  interviewing  the  patient,  reviewing  the  patient’s  medical  records,  performing  a  physical  examination,  including  an  airway  examination,  ordering  and/or  reviewing  relevant  medical  tests,  and  consulting  other  medical  subspecialists  as  necessary.  The  goals  of  preanesthesia  evaluation  include  familiarizing  the  provider  with  the  patient’s  medical  conditions,  determining  the  severity  of  illness,  and  confirming  optimization  of  all  identified  issues.
