Pre operative Assessment and Patient Preparation PDF 37P

This is a consensus document produced by expert members of a Working Party established by the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (AAGBI) and British Association of Day Surgery (BADS). It has been seen and approved by the Councils of the AAGBI and BADS. This guidance has been designed to help anaesthetists provide high quality pre-operative assessment services and patient preparation before surgery. In addition it defines the roles and responsibilities of anaesthetists both after planned and after unplanned admissions. Anaesthetists should assume a central role in the organisation of pre-operative services that encompass much more than preparing the delivery of anaesthesia.
