AB Perioperative  risk  assessment  by  careful  history,  physical  examination,  and  selective  investigation  is  essential  for  directing  therapy  in  the  high-risk  surgical  patient.To  decrease  mortality  and  morbidity,  major  medical  illnesses  must  be  identified  and  appropriately  managed.Delirium  is  a  common  postoperative  complication  that  can  be  anticipated  given  risk  factors.Perioperative  cardiac  morbidity  can  be  minimized  with  preemptive  medical  management  which  includes  the  perioperative  administration  of  β-blockers  in  very  select  patients.Postoperative  pulmonary  complications  can  be  reduced  by  aggressive  pre-  and  postoperative  care.Diabetes  mellitus  and  steroid  dependence  must  be  completely  managed  to  significantly  influence  perioperative  morbidity  and  mortality.
