valvular disease), concern with CAD, CHF. arrhythmia, CVD
- patient stable or unstable?
- urgency of the procedure (oncology will be time sensitive)
- risk of procedure
- nutritional status
- immune competence
- determine functional capacity (need to be more than 4 METS, more than 10 METs makes low
risk)N/NLow risk surgeries - -ANSWER--catarcts

peripheral vascular surgeryN/NLee's revised cardiac risk index - -ANSWER--6 points:
High risk surgery = 1
CAD = 1
CHF = 1
Cerebrovascular disease = 1
,DM 1 on insulin = 1
Creat greater than 2 = 1
1 = low risk
2 = moderate risk
3 = high riskN/NSCIP pre-operative infection measures - -ANSWER--- Prophylactic antibiotics should be
received within 1 h prior to surgical incision
- be selected for activity against the most probable antimicrobial contaminants
- be discontinued within 24 h after the surgery end-timeN/NPostoperative infection reduction methods -
-ANSWER--- pre-op hair removal (clippers)
- wash hands
- normothermia
- maintain euglycemia
- urinary catheters are to be removed within the first two postoperative daysN/NOsteoarthritis: what,
incidence - -ANSWER--Slow destruction of bones/ joint followed by production of replacement collagen
which causes inflammatory changes

- xr shows narrowing of joint space (need anteroposterior and lateral knee films bilaterally)
- synovial fluid is clear and without WBCN/NOsteoarthritis treatment - -ANSWER--Goal is to relieve
symptoms, maintain/ improve function, and avoid drug toxicity
