Pre-Operative Physical Exam Irving, TX
Pre-Operative Physical Q&A
Prior to surgery, a pre-operative physical exam is performed by your primary care provider to give the surgeon a green light that the patient is healthy to safely undergo anesthesia and surgery.
Your primary care provider will complete a thorough physical examination and appropriate laboratory tests required for your type of surgery. Your family doctor will also review your medical history, pre-existing conditions, and any current medications you might be taking.
The types of labs or tests will depend on the patient, his/her medical history, and the type of surgery they will undergo. Standard pre-op test include: EKG, x-rays, lab testing, cardiac evaluation, vision test, urine analysis, and lung function assessment.
