What to tell the anaesthetist before surgery

- Whether you have had allergic reactions, difficulties or unusual symptoms during previous anaesthetics.
- Which operations you have had. Include existing discharge summaries and information about previous procedures.
- Which tests and investigations have already been performed according to the treating team's plan.
- What concerns you most: preparation, waking up, pain after surgery or other questions.
The team will give you instructions on food, fluids and medicines for your operation. Clarify these in advance; agree any changes to regular treatment with your doctor.
What to discuss at the consultation
- The anaesthetic plan. Which approach is proposed and why it suits your procedure.
- Preparation. Which documents are needed, which instructions to follow and when you may last eat and drink.
- The postoperative period. How pain and your general condition will be monitored and whom to tell about discomfort.
- Your individual circumstances. How previous anaesthetic experience, other medical conditions and regular medicines are taken into account in the plan.
The level of monitoring and the recovery plan depend on the operation performed and your condition. Recommendations are agreed by the surgeon, anaesthetist and other involved specialists.
