Abstract
The Helsinki Declaration offers guidelines for the warranty and improvement of patient safety in Anaesthesiology. The assessment of elective patients and their preoperative optimization plays a key role herein. Individual risk factors and preexisting pathologies have to be identified in order to initiate specific pre- and aftercare and an appropriate monitoring. The measures need to be evidence-based, goal-oriented and efficient. Our recommendations aim at elective adult patients planned for non-cardiac and non-lung-resecting surgery and stress the importance of gathering information from patients, performing physical examinations and arranging further diagnostic customized upon these findings only in contrast to routine testing. They shall spark the formulation or improvement of center-based, interdisciplinary standards of procedure in order to fulfill our great responsibility for the perioperative care of our patients.
