Preoperative testing can provide valuable information to identify patients who are at high risk for perioperative complications and reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality; however, there is little benefit from routinely testing patients who are known to be at low risk. The objectives of preoperative testing are to identify patients who are at high risk for perioperative complications, assess the severity or stability of existing medical problems, and evaluate abnormal symptoms or signs detected during the preoperative assessment. This module discusses the common challenges and pitfalls of preoperative testing, describes how pretest probability influences the decision to order preoperative tests, and identifies appropriate indications for laboratory, radiologic, and other forms of preoperative test screening. The selection of appropriate screening tools to identify patients at high risk for specific perioperative complications and the use of post-test probability to select and interpret preoperative diagnostic testing is also examined.

Patients with cirrhosis who undergo surgery are at increased risk for complications. Perioperative morbidity and mortality vary depending on the severity of cirrhosis, type of surgery, and whether it is elective or emergent. Identification of cirrhosis and accurate assessment of severity can be challenging but is necessary for case selection, informed consent, and anticipation of potential complications. Inaccurate risk assessment can sometimes lead to inappropriate exclusion of patients with cirrhosis from receiving useful surgery, as well. For instance, reliance on the Child-Pugh score alone likely significantly over-estimates perioperative mortality in patients with cirrhosis undergoing most procedures. This module identifies updated tools for perioperative risk prediction, outlines the most important elements of preoperative evaluation and optimization, and assists in formulation of pre- and postoperative care plans for patients with cirrhosis. Though our main focus is on cirrhosis, we will also touch on some important topics related to other acute and chronic liver disease.
