I believe it depends on what type of surgery do the patients undergo.
Some test commonly performed previously surgery and the symptoms that prompt doctors to order them are:
* white blood count--fever, suspicion of infection, use of drugs set to affect white blood cell counts;
* platelet count--blood loss, easy bruising, alcoholism, use of drugs particular to affect platelet count;
* glucose--excessive sweating with tremor or anxiety, muscle delicateness, diabetes, pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, altered mental status, alcoholism;
* potassium--vomiting, diarrhea, congestive heart failure, kidney anticlimax, muscle weakness, tissue sabotage, hypertension, diabetes, use of drugs known to affect potassium level;
* sodium--vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating, thirst or fluid intake, pulmonary disease, central jumpy system disease, congestive heart failure, cirrhosis.
Hemogram and other test related to the specific surgical procedure.
You would typically get a accurate series of screening tests including complete blood count, electrolytes and other chemistries, renal function and some other specific ones dependent upon your standard health and the type of surgery you are going to own.
SMA 7, clotting and bleeding times, blood count.
Usually patients undergoing surgery require a complete blood count,a fundamental metabolic profile, a PT and a PTT and anything else the surgeon or anesthesia deems considerable.
Complete blood count, basic metabolic panel, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, urinalysis. Men over 40 and women over 50, as powerfully as patients taking certain medication, also require an EKG and/or chest x-ray. Diabetics might require a glycosylated hemoglobin.
