OBJECTIVES
1. Outline evidence based practice guidelines related to pre operative
evaluation for surgery
2. Describe conditions that require pre operative diagnostic evaluations
3. Review the findings that would postpone or cancel surgery
![Page 4: Pre Operative Clearance for Non Cardiac Surgery: ALL CLEAR Dominique Renee Abell, RN, MSN, CCRN, ACNP-BC (ACLS, PALS, TNCC) rbeckum@crossroadsdevelopers.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e025503460f94aebfbe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
“The purpose of preoperative evaluation is not simply to give medical clearance but rather to perform an evaluation of the patient's current medical status, make recommendations concerning the evaluation, management and risk of cardiac problems over the entire perioperative period; and provide a clinical risk profile that the patient, primary physician, anesthesiologist and surgeon can use in making treatment decisions that may influence short term and long term cardiac outcomes”.

Goals of Preoperative Evaluation
Documentation for which surgery is needed Assessment of patient overall condition/health status Uncovering issues that could cause problems during
and after surgery Perioperative risk determination Optimize medical condition to reduce morbidity and
mortality Develop perioperative plan of care

Goals of Preoperative Evaluation
Education of patient and family
Surgery Anesthesia Intraoperative care Post operative pain control Reduce anxiety Facilitate recovery

Goals of Preoperative Evaluation
Reduce cost Decrease length of stay Reduce cancellations day of surgery Increase patient/family satisfaction
![Page 8: Pre Operative Clearance for Non Cardiac Surgery: ALL CLEAR Dominique Renee Abell, RN, MSN, CCRN, ACNP-BC (ACLS, PALS, TNCC) rbeckum@crossroadsdevelopers.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e025503460f94aebfbe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Nurse Practitioner Responsibilities
Perform complete History and Physical Review/Order labs and ancillary studies Assess risk related to patient's co-morbidities Assess need for preoperative specialty consults Communicate with anesthesia provider and surgeon Assist with optimal timing of surgery
Medically optimize patient condition preoperatively

Situation for Surgery
Emergent: life threatening situation, risk of or death of patient if not preformed
Urgent: life threatening or debilitating, needs to be done sooner than later
Elective: patient may “need” procedure but can be scheduled at any time

Pulmonary Complications
COPD/Asthma Goal is “Personal Best” Poor PFT's do no exclude from surgery or correlate
with risk of post operative complications Poor exercise capacity is probably best predictor Along with type and duration of surgery Age and obesity are not independent risk factors Metabolic markers- BUN>30, albumin <3

Pulmonary Complications
Reducing Risk Preoperative
smoking cessation 8 weeks prior Treat airflow obstruction in patients with
COPD/Asthma Administer antibiotics and delay surgery Begin patient education regarding post op

Chronic Medications
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors- taper and withdraw 2-3 weeks before surgery
Oral contraceptives- stopped 6 weeks before elective surgery secondary to increased VTE risk
Herbal supplements discontinued 2 weeks before surgery
Aspirin discontinued 7-10 days before Thienopyridines (clopidogrel) 2 weeks before Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatories 7-10 days before
