Can you share what type of PAT tests you did just before surgery?

TIA

For my sleeve surgery, there was nothing but a consult with the anesthesiologist about 40 minutes prior to surgery.

More recently, for a simple out-patient procedure, the anesthesiologist checked the size of my mouth/throat a few days before the procedure, but then rescheduled me & sent me to the hospital because it turns out that I'm hard to intubate - she said it wouldn't be appropriate for me to have surgery at a small surgery center that didn't have a full anesthesia department. This was the first time I'd ever heard about being difficult to intubate (4 prior surgeries!) but I'm glad I found out before there were troubles during a simple knee procedure, you know? Anyway, I hope this is helpful!

I didn't see the anesthesiologist until right before my surgery. He came and ask a few questions.

I seen the anesthesiologist right before the surgery and had to tell them that I react badly when I wake up with thrashing and delusions. So, they listened and did a different med and didnt have any issues waking up.
