Pre-procedure instructions under general anaesthesia and analgosedation

Pre-operative examination
Pre-operative examination determines whether your body is ready for the planned surgery and whether the risks are minimised.

Commonly includes:

• Completing the health questionnaire
• Physical examination by a doctor
• ECG
• Blood picture
• Urinalysis
• Lung X-ray in healthy patients up to the age of 60 years, lung X-ray is necessary in all age groups for patients with lung disease
• If the patient is being treated by a specialist (pulmonologist, cardiologist, haematologist, endocrinologist, diabetologist….), it is necessary to bring the attending physician’s report with any recommendations before general anaesthesia.

These examinations by a general practitioner or internist must not be older than 14 days. It is possible to undergo the examination directly at our clinic.
