When ready, one of our nurses will escort you back to the pre-operative area. Upon arrival, our nurses will complete vital signs, place an IV and review important documentation to ensure you are fully informed and ready for surgery. Next, a member of the medical staff will review your medical history to be sure nothing has changed since your P.A.T. visit. If you were not required to visit P.A.T., a medical doctor will complete a history and physical. Our Anesthesia provider will also review your medical history so there may be some overlapping questions. Women of childbearing age should expect to do a urine pregnancy test prior to surgery.
