What kind of information is important for anesthesia providers to know?
If you or a blood relative have had a problem related to anesthesia or surgery, please let your anesthesiologist know. A thorough medical history and physical exam is, of course the most important information your anesthesiologist can receive. They will need to know if you have significant medical problems in order to suggest the safest possible anesthetic management. Please be sure to carefully fill in the pre-operative forms that you receive and review your medical problems with your anesthesiologist during your pre-operative interview.
