Preparing for Pulmonary Resection: Preoperative Evaluation of Patients
Chest, 1997Co-Authors: John J. ReillyAbstract:Preoperative Evaluation of patients being considered for pulmonary resection is a common practice for both pulmonologists and internists. Traditionally, Preoperative Evaluation of this population has entailed identifying patients in whom pulmonary resection carries an unacceptably high risk of morbidity and mortality. However, recent advances in surgical technique and patient management have prompted a reconsideration of traditional Preoperative approaches. This article reviews procedures currently used in the Preoperative Evaluation of patients considered for pulmonary resection, including the patient history, physical examination, and Preoperative interventions, and addresses further Evaluation of the high-risk patient.

The effect of national guidelines on the implementation of outpatient Preoperative Evaluation clinics in Dutch hospitals.
European journal of anaesthesiology, 2006Co-Authors: L. C. Lemmens, W. A. Van Klei, N. S. Klazinga, C. L. G. Rutten, R. H. Van Linge, K. G. M. Moons, H. E. M. KerkkampAbstract:Background and objectives: Preoperative Evaluation performed by anaesthesiologists primarily aims to estimate the risk of perioperative complications and to create opportunities to optimize the patients' condition before surgery. In this study an inventory was made of the current practice of Preoperative Evaluation in Dutch hospitals. It was estimated how many hospitals had implemented an outpatient Preoperative Evaluation clinic in 2004. Subsequently, current practice was compared with the results of a previous inventory (2000). It was also evaluated to what extent the guidelines of the Dutch Health Council and the Netherlands Society of Anaesthesiology were followed. Methods: The study consisted of two phases. First, a literature research was performed and pilot interviews were constructed. The interviews were conducted face-to-face with anaesthesiologists in a sample of Dutch hospitals. Based on the results, written questionnaires were constructed. In the second phase these questionnaires were sent to all general and academic hospitals in the Netherlands. Results: In 2004, 74% of the hospitals had an outpatient Preoperative Evaluation clinic, compared with 50% in 2000. The percentage of hospitals with an outpatient Preoperative Evaluation clinic available for all elective patients increased from 20% to 52%. Conclusions: The Dutch guidelines on Preoperative Evaluation seem to have influenced current practice. An increase in the number of outpatient Preoperative Evaluation clinics was seen after the guidelines were published. The implementation of an outpatient Preoperative clinic seems to warrant that anaesthesiologists are carrying out the activities prescribed by the guidelines. Most hospitals without a clinic aim to implement one in the future.

Noncardiac pulmonary, endocrine, and renal Preoperative Evaluation of the vascular surgical patient.
Anesthesiology clinics of North America, 2004Co-Authors: Javier H. CamposAbstract:Patients who have vascular disease who are to undergo an operation are at risk for developing perioperative and postoperative complications caused by coexisting diseases. A comprehensive Preoperative Evaluation is critical in identifying these coexisting diseases, and the anesthetic plan might require modification. This article focuses on important aspects of the pulmonary, endocrine (diabetes), and renal systems during the Preoperative Evaluation of the vascular surgical patient.
