Why this Study? Before surgery, doctors do checks called preoperative evaluations. This helps find any risks and make sure you're in the best shape for surgery. It can also help plan for pain management and care during and after your surgery. However, the benefit of these checks on surgery results isn't well known. This study will explore how these evaluations might prevent complications.
- Study Duration: The length of the study is not mentioned, but it involves pre-surgery evaluations.
- Eligibility: Participants must be 18-80 years old, having planned (not emergency) surgery, and have an ASA score of 3 or less. ASA stands for American Society of Anesthesiologists, a score that rates how fit a person is for surgery.
- Risks and Benefits: There might be a chance that seeing a doctor before surgery could increase risks, but the study aims to find out how it might help prevent complications.
