What does the lab work and history/physical consist of

I have been scheduled 2 weeks before my surgery for lab work and history and physical exams. Does anybody know what's involved, like what kind of test are they running? I'm just a little curious, it also happens too be the same day that I am scheduled to start my pre-op.

    Hi there!

    When I had my presurgical testing, they did blood work, a chest X-ray, and EKG, and an upper GI. (YUCK) It was all tolerable though. Good luck to you! Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Usually you will have a cbc, hemoglobin, hematocrit, ekg, and chest x-ray...possibly a upper gi (depending on your surgeon). The history part is simply the doctor gathering pertinent medical info on you and also any family history you might have that might be necessary to know for anesthesia.

    Peace Out!
