AbstractMedical and technical progress together with demographic changes has led to a more complex perioperative care for patients. Accordingly, an optimal preoperative assessment in particular an adequate risk evaluation is more important than ever. A recently published joint recommendation of the German Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, the German Society of Surgery and the German Society of Internal Medicine aims to reduce considerable uncertainties in the preoperative risk evaluation especially with regard to"technical tests" by providing transparent and comprehensive arrangements. Consequently, routine screening will be abandoned in favour of targeted patient and operation-oriented individual risk assessment. This approach will change the preoperative risk evaluation in a scientific, organisational and economic way. The following article on preoperative risk evaluation is based on the valuable and helpful recommendation and aims to provide additional important aspects from the perspective of anaesthesiologists.
