Preoperative evaluation: Impact on early perioperative hemodynamic and respiratory complications.
The impact of routine preoperative anesthesia evaluations on potential perioperative complications remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative evaluation on early perioperative hemodynamic and respiratory complications. ⋯ While the impact of routinely requested laboratory and imaging methods before surgery could not be assessed in this study, consultations that were requested did not affect hemodynamic and respiratory complications in the early perioperative period or on the duration of hospital stay.
