What Is a Preoperative Clearance?
A preoperative clearance is a comprehensive evaluation of your child's health prior to undergoing general anesthesia for a dental or surgical procedure. The purpose is to identify any specific health risks that may interfere with the success of the surgical procedure or increase your child's risk of complications.
What Does a Preoperative Medical Evaluation and Clearance Include?
A preoperative evaluation is a fully customized experience tailored to your child's unique needs. It may include the following:
Review of Medical History
Dr. Khaira will review your child's medical history, including any allergies, current health concerns, medications, or previous surgeries.
Physical Exam
Dr. Khaira will conduct a thorough physical exam to evaluate your child's health and rule out any concerns that may need to be addressed before surgery.
Lab Work
Depending on your child's surgical procedure and unique healthcare needs, Dr. Khaira may request blood work, urinalysis, or other lab tests.
Diagnostic Imaging
Dr. Khaira may request diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans, to further evaluate your child's health before surgery.
Consultation with Specialists
If necessary, Dr. Khaira may consult with your child's healthcare specialists, such as cardiologists or anesthesiologists, to discuss specific risks or precautions.
What Happens After Your Child's Preoperative Medical Evaluation/Clearance?
After your child's preoperative clearance, Dr. Khaira will review your child's health history and test results and provide a comprehensive report to your child's surgeon or dentist. If any health issues surface during this screening, Dr. Khaira will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to get your little one's health back on track. The goal is to ensure your child's safety and well-being before, during, and after surgery.
