Preoperative Anesthetic Clearance a Necessity in Secondary Healthcare Institutions

Saurabh Sharma, Kranti Bisht

Abstract: Preoperative Anesthetic clearance or PAC in short is not just an exercise undertaken to check the fitness status of any patient about to undergo surgery, but also acts as a screening tool to identify high risk cases. Especially in a secondary healthcare system with limited resources and lack of backup services, an anesthetist has to be very meticulous in selection of cases. PAC is the primary tool to carry out this. It is a procedure basically carried out to analyze the general physical, cardiac and respiratory status of the patient. It ascertains that whether or not the patient is able to handle the stress of anesthesia or not. It also acts as a screening tool to identify any modifiable risk factor which can be corrected before surgery.
