Objective
• Preoperative tests.
Risk Factors
Recent Surgery Immobilization
Trauma OCP
DM Obesity
Heart failure Arteriopathy
Age more than 60 years Cancer
Prophylaxis against DVT & Pulmonary emboli
I Healthy patient.
II Mild systemic disease, no functional
limitations.
III Severe systemic disease, definite
functional limitation.
IV Severe systemic disease that is a
constant threat to life.
V Moribund patient not expected to survive
24 hours with or without surgery.
Assessment of Cardiovascular risk
• Risk factors are:
– Recent MI,
– Clinical heart failure,
– Systemic HTN,
– History of arrythmia.
• The risks are highest in the 1st 3 months following
infarct. But gradually decreases in the next 6
months. So elective surgery can be considered 6
months later.
• Always consult with a cardiologist regarding
these patients before surgery.
• ECG should be performed as a routine
investigation for this group.
Assessment for Respiratory risk
• The most common respiratory condition to
encounter preoperatively are COPD & Asthma.
• Certain parameters should be measured in these
patients:
- PEFR
- Vital Capacity
- FEV1
- ABG
• Epidural analgesia is the best one for this group
both pre, intra & post operative analgesia.
• Guidance should be given preoperatively on
breathing exercise.
• Antibiotic should be given preoperatively to
prevent postoperative chest infection.
Assessment of renal risk
should be transfused.
• Bowel surgery:
- Bowel preparation is considered prior to bowel
surgery.
- For elective surgery, bowel preparation is most
commonly achieved by placing the pt on liquid
diet 3-5 days prior to surgery & administering oral
purgatives or enema on the day prior to surgery.
- Specially for small bowel surgery, proper
hydration & nutrition should be maintained.
- If there is evidence of obstruction, an NG tube
should be inserted to prevent aspiration.
Prepare for Surgery in Special Groups
• Endocrine Surgery:
• Thoracic Surgery:
- Assessment of respiratory function is the most
important aspect of preoperative preparation.
- Active preoperative physiotherapy, treatment of
any respiratory infections with antibiotics and good
post operative analgesia minimize the risk of
postoperative respiratory failure.
- Subcutaneous heparin is routine to prevent
pulmonary embolus.
