    AbstractThe information gained when abnormalities are detected by pre-operative investigations is of interest to the anaesthetist as it may change the anaesthetic technique and anaesthetic drugs used. Tests should not be routinely used in all patients, but only in those over the age of 50 or in those with an increased chance of abnormalities being detected.
