disturbance, severe anemia, nutritional
status
- Anaesthetic/Surgery
History
to anticipate & encounter problems e.g
problems in intubation, side effects of
drugs, .?
Medical history

anaesthesia technique used in the
procedures, and dose adjusment, and
also to anticipate the possible risk
- CVS signs
Cough, thick sputum, dyspneu
causing the risk of respiratory
problem
during surgery
