Surgery is a risky process, demanding intense preparation. Certolab Izcalli tests patients for a complete picture of their health before they undergo surgery.

Cuautitlán Izcalli, Mexico - November 9, 2023 /PressCable/ —
Certolab Izcalli in Cuautitlan Izcalli, Mexico announces the availability of its pre-surgery testing plans for online ordering, preparing patients for a better outcome.
When a person is to undergo surgery, it is fundamental to assess their general health status beyond their illness, to identify potential risks, prepare the medical team, and ensure the patient's safety during the procedure and recovery. This is part of a comprehensive approach to medical care that seeks to minimize risks and optimize surgical outcomes by identifying, for example, preexisting medical conditions, such as chronic diseases, infections, or disorders that could affect the surgery or recovery, potential risks such as coagulation problems, anemia, metabolic imbalances, infections, or heart problems that could increase the risk of complications during surgery, adjusting the anesthesia strategy depending on renal function, preventing unexpected situations, and improving patient safety by optimizing their recovery and reducing the risk of postoperative complications.
To assess the health status of a patient who is going to undergo surgery, it is necessary to perform laboratory studies that can vary depending on the nature of the surgery, the patient's medical history, and the preferences of the surgeon and medical team. However, some of the most common laboratory tests usually performed before surgery include:
- Complete blood count: This blood test checks the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood. It can help detect anemia or infections.
- Blood chemistry: These include tests to measure levels of glucose, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride), liver function (alanine aminotransferase - ALT, aspartate aminotransferase - AST), kidney function (creatinine, blood urea nitrogen - BUN), and other metabolic markers.
- Blood coagulation tests: Such as prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (PTT), are performed to evaluate the blood's clotting ability.
- Blood type and Rh factor: These tests determine the patient's blood type and are crucial in case of the need for a blood transfusion.
- Pulmonary function tests: In some cases, tests may be performed to assess lung function, such as spirometry, to ensure that the patient can tolerate anesthesia and mechanical ventilation during surgery.
- Infectious disease tests: Depending on the situation, screening tests for infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, or other infections may be performed.
- Electrocardiogram: Performed to evaluate heart function and detect possible heart problems.
- Chest X-ray or imaging studies: Chest X-rays or other imaging studies, such as ultrasounds, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may be performed to assess the anatomy of the region to be operated on.
- Other specific studies: Depending on the surgery and the patient's medical history, other more specific studies, such as urine tests, thyroid function tests, among others, may be performed.
It is important to emphasize that the choice of laboratory studies and diagnostic tests will depend on the assessment of the surgeon and anesthesiologist, as well as the clinical guidelines established for the procedure in question, but they should always be carried out by professional specialists like Certolab Medical Laboratory, which is a laboratory with certified quality management systems. These studies help identify underlying medical problems and ensure patient safety during surgery.
