Pre-Anesthesia Appointment

[tlh4life 66]

I have my pre-anesthesia appointment tomorrow. Does anyone know what typically happens at that appointment? I have a few questions to ask, but was just curious what others' experiences have been.

They are mostly going to ask about any dental issues you might have (partials, implants, caps, crowns) history with anesthesia, medical history, -- mostly its about what they need to know to make your procedure go smoothly. Whether you have drug allergies, have had any negative reactions to anesthesia in the past. I didn't meet my anesthesia team until the morning of surgery, but in the past, I've spoken with them by phone a few days before. They will listen to your lungs and heart, too.
