Report discussion : The Oral Presentation

Report Discussion by MedStudent about what they think and translate anaesthesia service into their presentation.............

Each student will have 15 minutes to discuss about preoperative medical problems their patients have, and what to do or prepare for their patients so that we can avoid perioperative complications. They also have to discuss the choice of anaesthesia which way they should proceed, and also postoperative management, any problems and pain control.
