Preparing for surgery checklist 

Foreign patients prepare for their surgery journey a long time before the actual surgery date.. It is very crucial to follow pre-surgery rules in order to avoid canceling the surgery.

1.   Medication intake

 EU always informs to patients about the medications they should avoid. For example, aspirin causes excessive bleeding. Medication for diabetes is allowed until the day before the surgery, but not during the fasting time. Some patients forget to follow these instructions and get their surgery canceled. Make sure to inform our consultants about the medications you take to ensure your safety.

2.   Fasting time

 Fasting before the surgery is essential when preparing for surgery. Patient is supposed to start fasting since from midnight prior to the surgery under general anesthesia.

Why is fasting so important? Anesthesia can decrease your body’s ability to prevent foods from entering the lungs. So in case you haven’t fasted properly, there is a risk of vomiting and as a result, the food will get into your lungs, causing choking or even pneumonia.

Not only food, but also water or any other drinks are also strictly prohibited. So if you consume anything during the required fasting hours, the surgery will be canceled for your own safety.

All of these precautions might seem not significant, but they are very important. EU consultants and surgeons require our visitors to follow these rules in order to make to surgery process safe.
