PRE-OPERATIVE OPTIMISATION
Preparing you for a safer, smoother surgical journey
Good anaesthetic care begins before you arrive at the operating theatre.
Your pre-operative consultation is an opportunity to understand your health, discuss your planned procedure and identify anything that may need attention before surgery. Dr Hisham Said will work with you and your surgical team to ensure your anaesthetic plan is appropriate for your individual needs.
YOUR HEALTH. YOUR READINESS. YOUR ANAESTHETIC.
A comprehensive approach to your care
A good pre-operative assessment looks beyond the planned procedure. It considers your overall health, existing medical conditions, medications and previous experiences with anaesthesia, helping to identify anything that may need to be optimised before surgery.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR HEALTH
PREPARING FOR YOUR SURGERY
WORKING WITH YOUR SURGICAL TEAM
OPTIMISING YOUR MEDICATIONS
We will discuss your medical history and any existing health conditions that may be relevant to your anaesthetic or surgery.
This provides an opportunity to identify potential concerns early and ensure that appropriate advice, investigations or optimisation can be considered before your procedure.
If you have been referred by a surgeon, Dr Hish can work alongside your existing surgical team to understand the planned procedure and ensure your anaesthetic care is considered as part of the wider surgical journey.
The aim is coordinated, personalised care from preparation through to recovery.
Your current medications can be an important part of your pre-operative assessment.
Dr Hish will review the medications relevant to your anaesthetic and planned procedure and advise where appropriate on any adjustments or preparation that may be required.
Any changes to medication should be made only following appropriate medical advice.
Being in the best possible health before surgery can help you approach your procedure with greater confidence and readiness.
Your consultation provides an opportunity to discuss factors that may influence your preparation and make sure you understand what is expected before your anaesthetic.
Your anaesthetic plan starts before the day of surgery.
Following your assessment, Dr Hish will discuss the appropriate anaesthetic approach with you, answer your questions and explain what you can expect before, during and after your procedure.
The focus is on individualised care, careful preparation and supporting a smooth recovery.
