PY - 2014 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam 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.
