What Does a Pre-Op Physical Exam Involve?
A pre-op physical exam is performed to evaluate a patient prior to a scheduled surgical operation. This exam provides surgeons with key information about a patient’s overall health and screens for medical concerns that could pose a threat before, during, or after surgery. By uncovering possible medical conditions before surgery, a surgical team can better prepare for treatment and help ensure the patient’s safety.
The details of each patient’s pre-op physical exam will vary according to his or her overall health, age, and what type of surgery is scheduled. In general, many physicals include:
- A review of personal and family medical history
- A brief physical exam
- An evaluation of key health characteristics, such as cardiac function, lung function, blood pressure, vision, hearing, and more
- X-ray imaging, bloodwork, or other labs, if necessary
Fast Track Urgent Care is equipped to provide clinical lab testing and X-ray imaging onsite. Furthermore, we work closely with local primary care offices and hospitals to ensure a seamless care experience for our patients.
