Pre-op Clearance
Transformative Medicine To Help You Innovate Your Wellbeing And Aesthetic
Safe Surgery Starts Here
A pre-operative clearance exam is an essential step before any surgical procedure to ensure patient safety. At Beach Family Doctors, our providers conduct thorough health assessments, including reviewing medical history, ordering necessary lab tests, and performing cardiac evaluations and ECGs when required. These exams help identify any underlying conditions that could pose a risk during surgery. Once the results are reviewed, we send the clearance directly to the specialist. If additional testing is needed, we coordinate the next steps to ensure patients are fully prepared. Our goal is to optimize health before surgery, reducing potential complications and ensuring a smooth recovery.
Your Health, Your Safety
A pre-operative clearance exam determines if a patient is fit for surgery by assessing overall health and identifying any conditions that may increase surgical risks. This includes evaluating cardiovascular health, infection risks, and any chronic conditions that could impact anesthesia or recovery. By conducting thorough screenings and necessary diagnostic tests, medical providers can help prevent complications and ensure the safest possible surgical outcome. If a patient requires additional testing, further evaluations are scheduled before the final clearance is given. Pre-op exams provide both the patient and the surgical team with the confidence that the procedure can proceed safely, minimizing risks and promoting a successful recovery.
Pre-op clearance ensures a patient is healthy for surgery, reducing potential complications and optimizing recovery. It provides peace of mind to both patients and their specialists by confirming that all health risks have been properly assessed.
Identifies underlying conditions that may affect surgery
A pre-op clearance exam helps detect any medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart issues, that could increase surgical risks. Identifying these conditions in advance allows for proper management and treatment, ensuring a safer procedure and a smoother recovery.
Ensures all necessary pre-surgical tests are completed
Our providers conduct all required pre-operative tests, including lab work, ECGs, and cardiac evaluations, based on the patient’s medical history and surgical needs. These tests help determine if the patient is in good health and ready for surgery, preventing last-minute cancellations or delays.
Provides specialists with a comprehensive health evaluation
Surgeons and anesthesiologists rely on pre-op clearance to assess a patient’s overall health and make informed decisions about anesthesia and surgical techniques. A thorough evaluation ensures that all potential risks are considered, allowing the medical team to take necessary precautions for a successful procedure.
Reduces surgical risks and promotes a smooth recovery
By identifying and addressing any health concerns before surgery, pre-op clearance minimizes the risk of complications such as infections, blood clots, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. This proactive approach helps patients recover faster and with fewer post-operative issues, leading to better overall outcomes.
