Pre-Op Evaluation
What is a Pre-Op Evaluation?
Preoperative clearance, commonly referred to as pre-op clearance, is the process of conducting a thorough evaluation of a patient’s overall health status before they undergo surgery.
This evaluation is typically performed by a medical team to assess the patient’s medical history, current physical condition, and any potential risk factors that may impact the surgery or recovery process.
Pre-op clearance helps ensure that the patient is fit for surgery and can help identify and address any underlying health issues that may need to be managed before the procedure. Ultimately, pre-op clearance is essential for optimizing patient safety and surgical outcomes.
