Abstract :

Preanaesthetic evaluation of a patient involves the assessment of information from the multiple sources, including medical records, patient interview, physical examination and findings from preoperative investigation. For plastic surgical procedure, preoperative assessment of anticipated difficult airway, co morbid medical condition of the patient helps us to formulate the plan of anaesthesia and conduct anaesthesia with pertinent information..Thus a detailed pre anaesthetic assessment may improves the outcome of a difficult plastic surgical procedure.

AIM:–An observational study of evaluation of pertinent 1) medical records 2) patient interview 3) physical examination of the patient admitted in plastic surgery ward waiting for reconstructive surgery in a Medical College of west Bengal. This study focussed on benefits of preoperative evaluation that extends from perioperative care, optimal resource utilisation to improved outcome and patient satisfaction.

METHOD:–– The study conducted over a period of 6 month and included 200 patient aged 18–70 yrs of American Society of Anaesthesiologists( ASA) physical status I – III, some having comorbidities admitted in plastic surgery ward waiting for surgery.
