History and physical examination To determine medical risk factors, relevant tests and consultations Decision regarding optimization Choose anesthetic plan in discussion with patient Informed consent Educate patient about anesthesia, pain management and perioperative care 3
4
Patient history and records Patient interview Physical examination Laboratory tests Consultations Preparation 4

Days before schedule date in preoperative clinic Day before schedule date as inpatient Re-evaluation on admission and before anesthesia 5

Patient Patient attendant Medical records 6
7
Approx 1:26,000 anaesthetics One third of deaths are preventable 7 Causes in order of frequency Inadequate patient preparation Inadequate postoperative management Wrong choice of anaesthetic technique. Inadequate crisis management
8
Inadequate postoperative management you have to assess to see if the patient s having intra abdominal bleeding, or any concealed bleeding or nausea and vomiting. Wrong choice of anesthetic technique. Local regional anesthesia is better in general but especially in C-section because it reduces the risk of aspiration 8
9
Why does the patient need an operation now? Is it acute/chronic illness? e.g. anaemia, cachexia, pain, seizures etc What are the pathophysiological consequences? Presenting symptoms? e.g. thyroid mass Local - stridor, SVC obstruction Systemic - hypo/hyperthyroidism 9
10
All comorbidities should be controlled before surgery We do not operate on hypo/hyperthyrodism it should be euthyroid except in acute cases in which there is difficulty in breathing with stridor then you should operate regardless the state of the thyroid. Always keep in mind the urgency of the surgery. 10
11
Other problems that may affect Perioperative morbidity and mortality? Cardiac disease Respiratory disease Arthritis Endocrine disorders - diabetes, obesity etc What is the patients functional capacity? Must be assessed. 11
12
Asthma COPD HISTORY ◦ Onset ◦ Duration ◦ Progress ◦ Dyspnoea I.II.III.IV 12
13
RISK FACTORS Smoking increases the risk of coughing, bronchospasm, or other airway problems during the operation. Ideally should be stopped 6 weeks before surgery but in emergency cases we can accept it 13
14
RISK FACTORS Chest wall deformity intubation will not help unlike in asthmatics Major abdominal surgeries Thoracic surgery Morbid obesity 14
15
H/O Angina H/O dyspnoea Repeated hospital admissions Look for risk factors Diabetes Mellitus Hypertension Syncopal attacks Peripheral Vascular disease 15
16
1–4 METS (Eating, dressing, walking around house, dishwashing) 4–10 METS (Climbing stairs—1 flight, walking level ground 6.4 km/hr, running short distance, game of golf) ≥10 METS (Swimming, singles tennis, football) MET=metabolic equivalent. 1 MET = 3.5 mL of O2/Kg/min 16
17
Class I: Angina with strenuous or prolonged exertion Class II: Angina with moderate exertion Class III: Can only lightly exert oneself Class IV: Angina with ANY activity or at rest 17
18
Other systems Renal Liver Diabetes Psychiatric problem FAMILY HISTORY 18

Previous surgical procedure Anesthesia Type Difficult airway Difficult IV access Any Complications Allergy PONV Malignant hyperpyrexia 19

Best done by an anaesthetist Certain features of concern ◦ Small mouth ◦ Poor dentition ◦ Limited neck mobility ◦ Scars/surgery/anatomical abnormalities ◦ Obesity 20

27
Class 1:pillars, glottis and vocal cords are seen. Easiest intubation. Class 4: only the hard palate can be seen. The most difficult intubation. 27
28
Preoperative tests should not be ordered routinely Preoperative tests may be ordered, required, or performed on a selective basis for purposes of guiding or optimizing perioperative management. This may result in unnecessary OR delays, cancellations, and potential patient risk through additional testing and follow-up. 28
29
29 P1. Normal healthy patient. (Mortality 0.06-0.08%). P2. Patient with mild systemic disease. (Mortality0.27-0.4%). P3. Patient with severe systemic disease. (Mortality 1.8-4.3%). P4. Patient with severe systemic disease that is life-threatening. E.g. MI (Mortality 7.8-23%). P5. Moribund (dying) patient who is not expected to survive without an operation. (Mortality 9.4-51%). P6. Brain-dead patient whose organs are being removed for donation. For emergent operations, you have to add the letter ‘E’ after the classification

31
Low risk surgeries (<1% cardiac risk) Endoscopic procedures Superficial biopsies Cataracts Breast surgery 31
32
Intermediate risk (<5% cardiac risk) Intraperitoneal and intrathoracic Carotid endarterectomy Head and neck Orthopedic Prostate 32
33
High risk (>5% cardiac risk) Emergency major operations Especially in the elderly Aortic or major vascular surgery Craniotomy Extensive operations with large volume shifts or blood loss. 33
34
Minor predictors Advanced age Abnormal ECG Rhythm other than sinus Low functional capacity Uncontrolled hypertension 34
35
Intermediate predictors Mild angina pectoris (class 1 or 2) Prior MI more than 6 months ago Compensated or prior heart failure Diabetes mellitus Renal insufficiency 35
36
Major predictors Acute or recent MI less than 2 months before surgery Unstable or severe angina Decompensated heart failure High-grade A-V block Severe valvular disease Arrhythmias 36

38 Emergency surgery Proceed surgery. Optimize medical management yes
39
Emergency surgery No Active cardiac condition Treat the cardiac condition Severe angina, recent MI, decompensated heart failure, significant arrythmia, severe valvular heart disease yes
40
40 Emergency surgery No Active cardiac condition No Low risk surgery Proceed surgery. yes Low risk surgeries (<1% cardiac risk) Endoscopic procedures Superficial biopsies Cataracts Breast surgery
41
41 Emergency surgery No Active cardiac condition No Low risk surgery Intermediate risk (<5% cardiac risk) Intraperitoneal and intrathoracic Carotid endarterectomy Head and neck Orthopedic Prostate High risk (>5% cardiac risk) Emergency major operations Especially in the elderly Aortic or major vascular surgery Craniotomy Extensive operations with large volume shifts or blood loss. Low risk surgeries (<1% cardiac risk) Endoscopic procedures Superficial biopsies Cataracts Breast surgery No Good functional status >4 MET Good functional status >4 MET Proceed surgery. yes
42
42 Emergency surgery No Active cardiac condition No Low risk surgery Intermediate risk (<5% cardiac risk) Intraperitoneal and intrathoracic Carotid endarterectomy Head and neck Orthopedic Prostate High risk (>5% cardiac risk) Emergency major operations Especially in the elderly Aortic or major vascular surgery Craniotomy Extensive operations with large volume shifts or blood loss. Low risk surgeries (<1% cardiac risk) Endoscopic procedures Superficial biopsies Cataracts Breast surgery No Good functional status >4 MET Good functional status >4 MET No All other situations Clinical risk factors Diabetes IHD CHF CVA CRF Assess number of risk factors 0= Proceed with surgery 0-2= Consider risk modification, Consider perioperative beta blockers, Consider non invasive stress testing if change in management >3 = Consider non invasive stress testing + consider perioperative beta blockers Consider coronary revascularization
43
TAKE CONSCENT EXPLAIN RISKS OFFER CHOICES OF ANESTHESIA AND PAIN MANAGEMENT NPO orders Premedication: drugs that decrease gastric secretions to decrease the risk of aspiration especially in obese, patients with a history of heartburn or pregnant ladies (due to progesterone and increased intraabdominal pressure) or vagolytics to decrease oral secretions for easier intubation or analgesics to decrease the dose of anaesthetics. 43
44
Take all usual medications ◦ Anti-hypertensives ◦ Beta blockers ◦ Statins Think about discontinuing/replacing ◦ Aspirin ◦ Anticoagulants ◦ Diabetic medications ◦ MAOIs ◦ Note in obese patients, patients with a history of heartburn or pregnant ladies 44
45
Ingested Material Minimum Fasting Period Clear liquids 2hrs Breast Milk 4hrs Infant Formula 6hrs Non-human milk 6hrs Light meal 6hrs 45
46
46 PURPOSE : To allay anxiety, Reduce anesthetic drugs requirements Causes retrograde and ante grade amnesia Reduce need of intraoperative analgesia Drugs : Benzodiazepines, Narcotics, Antiemetic etc

History and physical most important assessors of disease and risk ASA and functional status good predictors of risk Lab tests have some usefulness Lab tests add little in low risk patients May add false + ves Add expense 48
