Noncardiac pulmonary, endocrine, and renal preoperative evaluation of the vascular surgical patient.
Patients who have vascular disease who are to undergo an operation are at risk for developing perioperative and postoperative complications caused by coexisting diseases. A comprehensive preoperative evaluation is critical in identifying these coexisting diseases, and the anesthetic plan might require modification. This article focuses on important aspects of the pulmonary, endocrine (diabetes), and renal systems during the preoperative evaluation of the vascular surgical patient.
