As we mentioned in the previous post upon the healthy patients requiring some surgical procedures, now it is actually not only the true healthy patients who can be categorised as healthy. If your patients belong to ASA Physical Status 2-3, they can fit this class as well.
It means that stable long term patients can be scheduled for anaesthesia as their healthy counterparts, however when dealing with this patient group you have to meet them, prepare them, and manage them about the concurrent medications. You have to give them about information on pharmacology which drugs they should take or which to omit on the day of surgery.
On pain control in the postoperative period, multiple drug classess can be applied, not only opioids and local anaesthetics.
About the safety, one common thing is usually that we may give the level of care less than that of high severity patients, therefore, the morbidity is much higher in this healthy patient group, because we may think that everything will be fine/ all right which leads us to complications.
