pre-op

what kind of tests do they do before surgery?

I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE DOCTOR. I HAD A PSYCH EVAL, CHEST X-RAY, EKG, ABG, UPPER GI X-RAY, ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND, BLOOD WORK AND 2 DIETICIAN CONSULTS

Hi Lisa, I had a psych eval, chest Xray, blood work. That is it so far. Next Thursday I go for my pre op with the doctor, I am not sure if there are more tests they will do at the office. Mo doin' the 24 days and a wake up happy Mo dance

My doctor requires Echocardiogram, Pulmonary Function Tests, a visit with a Pulmonologist, a Psychological Exam, Ultrasound of the lower legs to detect deep vein thrombosis, labs, EKG, Chest X-ray, EGD if you have a history of reflux or ulcers, and sleep study if indicated by Pulmonologist. Other doctors, may require a little more, some a little less, just depends. Whitney Angels: Lori and Va Angel to Lori and Va Offishal Marcher Sunday School Teacher
