Before having any surgical procedure, your doctor may recommend you have a surgical clearance appointment. That’s where our team at Astra Healthcare comes in. We’ll evaluate your heart is healthy enough for surgery and that you can go into surgery with a little more peace of mind.
What is a Surgical Clearance?
Surgical clearance, also known as cardiac preoperative clearance, is a health screening that evaluates a patient is able to undergo anesthesia and surgery. It involves looking over your medical history, performing a physical exam and may include further testing.
