Preanesthetic assessment: key preparations before an intervention
La pre-anesthetic consultation It is an essential step before any surgery. It reviews the the patient's medical history, laboratory and imaging tests, and previous treatments, to choose the most appropriate anesthetic technique and minimize risks.
