Pre Operation

What is a pre op for surgery?

Before your surgery, you will be required to undergo a pre-operative assessment, often with a doctor. This assessment entails a hospital visit where various tests, such as chest X-rays, blood and urine samples, as well as heart and lung tests, may be conducted.

What is the procedure for pre op?

Patients are typically brought to a designated area prior to surgery. An intravenous line (IV) is initiated at this stage if the patient doesn’t already have one. If necessary, a sedative may be administered through the IV to assist the patient in relaxing.

If the procedure is planned for 1 day-case procedures and expected support by anesthesia:

Obtain information about sedo-analgesia or monitored anesthesia from your surgeon or anesthetist, including details on the application and associated costs.
Complete a pre-procedure form (add this document*).
Undergo pre-surgery preparations, including changing clothes and vessel line placement, by the nurse or anesthesia technician.
Rest for 2 hours in the emergency area following the procedure.
Abstain from eating or drinking for at least 4 hours post-procedure, unless otherwise advised by your doctor. Also, refrain from driving or working during this period.
Familiarize yourself with the contact person for assistance at home during the post-procedural duration.
Stay with a relative at home on the day of the post-procedure.
If the planned procedure is part of a package program requiring general or regional anesthesia, schedule a free anesthesia consultation ideally at least one day before surgery.

General knowledge related to the preparation for your procedure and what to bring with you;

Adhere to fasting guidelines, starting at midnight for morning surgery or 6 hours before an afternoon appointment to avoid cancellation.
If your stomach contains food or fluids during surgery, there is a risk of vomiting under anesthesia. The interplay of anesthesia, inducing muscle paralysis, and intubation increases the potential for inhaling vomit into the lungs.
Maintain personal hygiene by taking a bath the night before surgery and shaving the operation area if recommended.
Quit smoking and abstain from alcohol 24 hours before the procedure for better surgical outcomes.
Be cautious with specific medications; seek guidance from your doctors, especially regarding anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, and cardiac drugs.
Remove all jewellery and removable items, entrusting them to your relatives.
Prioritize safety by avoiding nail polish, false nails, and high-heeled shoes to prevent instability after the procedure.
Familiarize yourself with available services, such as special nursing care, room options, and preparation procedures.
Arrive early on the day of the operation (around 8 or 8:30 am) and seek assistance from receptionists for any hospitalization needs.
