Preanesthetic assessment (also called Preanesthesia evaluation, Pre-anesthesia checkup (PAC) or simply Preanesthesia) is a medical check-up and laboratory investigations done by the anesthesiologist before an operation, to assess the patient's physical condition and any other medical problems or diseases the patient might be suffering from.〔(The Mission Hospital, Durgapur )〕 The goal of the assessment is to identify factors that significantly increase the risk of complications, and modify the procedure appropriately.〔(''Pre-anesthesia checkup - a Precondition for Safe Anesthesia'' ), Acibadem Sistina (Macedonia)〕〔Dr. Sapna Bathla, (''Anesthesia & Patient Safety'' )〕 The aim is to identify the appropriate anesthetic techniques to be used, to ensure the safety of perioperative care, optimal resource use, improved outcomes, and patient satisfaction, while considering the individual and person related risk factors and circumstances.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Society of Anesthesiologists">title=Guideline Summary: Practice advisory for preanesthesia evaluation. An updated report by the American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Preanesthesia Evaluation. ) )〕 The preanesthetic assessment involves the consideration of information from various sources that include the past medical records, interview, physical examination, as well as results from medical and laboratory tests. General recommendations have been published in the USA〔(''2008 ASA Recommendations for Pre-Anesthesia Checkout'' ), American Society of Anesthesiologists, 2008〕 and in India.〔Anju Gupta and Nishkarsh Gupta, (''Setting up and functioning of a preanaesthetic clinic'' ). Indian J Anaesth. 2010 Nov-Dec; 54(6): 504–507〕 A mnemonic has been suggested for pre-anesthetic assessment, to ensure that all aspects are covered.〔V R Hemanth Kumar et al.
