Anesthesia performs a comprehensive preoperative evaluation, looking at six major things:

Your medical history: Frankie reviews your medical history to identify any potential risks associated with anesthesia and surgery. This includes things like allergies, chronic conditions, and recent illnesses.
Your medications: Frankie wants to know what medications you're taking, both prescription and over-the-counter. This is important because some medications can interact with anesthesia in dangerous ways.
Your physical exam: Frankie performs a physical exam to assess your overall health and fitness. This includes checking your vital signs, listening to your heart and lungs, and looking for any signs of infection.
Your lab work: Frankie may also order some lab tests, such as a blood test or urinalysis. These tests can help identify any underlying medical conditions that could affect your anesthesia.
Your airway: Frankie evaluates your airway to make sure it's clear and that he'll be able to intubate you (insert a breathing tube) if necessary.
Your consent: Frankie makes sure you understand the risks and benefits of anesthesia and surgery before he proceeds. He also answers any questions you have and addresses any concerns.
Frankie is a highly trained medical professional who is dedicated to your safety. He takes the time to get to know you and your unique medical needs. By performing a thorough preoperative evaluation, Frankie helps to ensure that your surgery is a success.
