Dear Colleagues,

In France, pre-anesthesia evaluation for elective procedures is a two-steps process:

(1) a medical anesthetic consultation is required for all patients at the latest 48h before the procedure, and

(2) a pre-anesthesia check-up performed by an anesthesiologist to check for any new medical event since the medical consultation; this needs to be performed within the 24 hours before anesthesia.

We would like to make a quick survey of the pediatric pre-anesthesia evaluation in the European countries. Could you please take a moment to answer this short questionnaire?

Please send your completed word-documents directly to my email: delph.kern[AT]gmail[DOT]com

Thank you very much for your participation and your answers.
