Seq#7468 (Surgical Risk)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Surgical risk is evaluated based on the patient's medical history, functional capacity, and the urgency of the procedure. Physicians follow ACC-AHA guidelines for assessing cardiovascular risks in non-cardiac surgeries. The risk category is recorded in the medical record six months before the current surgery. If there is no explicit risk documentation, the default is a low-risk classification.
