  • Title: [Preoperative evaluation of patients for elective surgery].
    Author: Bandschapp O, Kaufmann M.
    Journal: Ther Umsch; 2009 Jul; 66(7):499-502. PubMed ID: 19565443.
    Abstract:
    Perioperative risk analysis and risk reduction is the main goal of every preoperative evaluation. Exercise tolerance is a key determinant of patient risk. Preoperative tests should only be ordered based on defined indications and relevant findings. Empathy towards the patient as well as good information is crucial. "Remote premedication" is a new method for low risk patient groups with phone and internet access. Based on modern information technology, this new method can be more efficient while preserving information flow and patient satisfaction.
