Preoperative evaluation and Preparation

It is the heart of anaesthesia for medical students, if you do not have an anaesthetic mind during your surgical rotation, you would definitely not understand why your patient is in need for such investigations, and medication concerned. You have to have holistic mind so that you would not only focus on how the surgical diagnosis would be made and the steps of surgical procedure in your patient would be, if you throughoutly look after your patient, you will not lack the core of medicine in your patient and it would definitely bring you another world when surgery and medicine are met and walk along with each other.

Preoperative evaluation skills are just comparable to the skills you have already had when you perform ward round in every discipline of medicine, for a quick look from head to toe, then you can focus the leading cause of your patient hospitalisation for this admission and focus of what else he/she has in the topic of concurrent diseases. It should be a skill every MD graduate can perform by self with no need for consultation, such as hypertension, asthma, diabetes, etc.
