Pre Surgical Clearance
Prior to surgery, patients require a complete comprehensive physical examination, often called a pre-operative work up. Generally, a Pre-Surgical Clearance is requested within 30 days of your scheduled surgery date. Expert Medical Services’ preoperative evaluation ensures you are in proper physical shape and receiving the right care. Expert Medical Services allows your surgical medical team an opportunity to identify potential problems or medical conditions that may impact your surgery. By identifying any problems ahead of time, your surgical team is able to personalize your care and determine the best management strategies for your surgery and recovery.
Preoperative Exams Include:
- Measurement of height, weight and vital signs
- Review of your medication list, along with recommendations on how to take medications prior to surgery
- Review of your medical, surgical and family history
- Physical exam
- If requested by your doctor or surgeon, we can perform X-rays or an electrocardiogram
Preparing for a Preoperative Exam:
- Be prepared to provide details on any injury or illness, your medical and family history
- A list of all medications, vitamins and supplements you take, including the strength and frequency taken
