Service Description: Before surgery, a thorough review of all medications is essential to ensure patient safety during anesthesia, the procedure itself, and recovery. The Pre-Operative Medication Review service evaluates the patient’s complete medication regimen (prescription drugs, OTC medications, herbal products, and dietary supplements) and provides recommendations on whether to continue, adjust, or temporarily discontinue certain medications before, during, and after surgery. Process: Collect detailed health information, current medications, allergies, and surgical history. Assess risks related to anticoagulants, antidiabetic drugs, cardiovascular medications, antihypertensives, steroids, and herbal supplements. Collaborate with surgeons and anesthesiologists to create a safe and tailored perioperative medication plan. Provide patients with clear instructions on when to stop or restart specific medications. Benefits: Reduce the risk of bleeding, cardiovascular complications, or interactions with anesthesia. Increase safety and success rates of surgical procedures. Support faster and safer postoperative recovery. Key Strengths: Based on international best practices for perioperative medication safety. Multidisciplinary collaboration (surgery, anesthesiology, internal medicine). Personalized approach tailored to each patient’s unique condition.
