For Patients

Stanford Health Care (formerly Stanford Hospital & Clinics) is known worldwide for the advanced patient care provided by its doctors and staff.  We also provide a wide range of guest services and amenities to our patients and visitors. Learn more about preparing for a hospital stay, billing and financial services, and our other support programs in Patients & Visitors.  

We plan to perform a very thorough assessment of your readiness for anesthesia. You can help us in this process by obtaining past and current medical records, test results and films. When we have access to all of this information, we may be able to avoid sending you for additional testing.

Anesthesia Evaluation: What to Bring

Please bring the following to your anesthesia evaluation appointment, if you have them:

  • Medical records
  • Laboratory test results
  • Cardiac test results, including ECG and stress test results
  • Contact information for your physician(s)

If you have questions about whether or not you should bring a particular document or test result, please do bring it with you.

You may hand carry these items to your appointment to the clinic where you will have your preoperative evaluation or fax them in advance.

For Health Care Professionals

At Stanford, we work with medically complex and frail patients other anesthesia providers decline to treat. While many anesthesia providers won’t evaluate a patient until a surgery date is set, we will see high-risk patients for a consult-only appointment in advance to determine if they meet the necessary criteria to receive anesthesia.

HOW TO REFER

Fax a referral form with supporting documentation to 650-320-9443.

High-Risk Patients: Anesthesia Readiness Evaluation

At Stanford we understand sometimes even the sickest patients require non-emergent surgery to extend their life or improve their quality of life. If you have questions about your patient’s readiness for anesthesia, or if another provider has declined to treat your patient, the Stanford Anesthesia Preoperative Evaluation Clinic will evaluate your high-risk patients and make recommendations regarding how to prepare them for anesthesia.

Schedule a High-Risk Consult-only Appointment

Surgeons and other providers may make an appointment directly with any of the four Stanford Anesthesia Preoperative Evaluation Clinic locations. Please advise your patients about what to expect and what to bring with them to their appointment.

What if My Patient Does Not Meet the Criteria for Anesthesia?

If we find your patient is not a candidate for anesthesia, we will work with them to optimize their health to prepare them for anesthesia. We offer:

  • In-patient optimization for patients that need intensive support
  • Nutrition counseling when baseline health needs a boost
  • Other supportive services as required on a per-case basis
  • Frequent communication with the patient’s surgeon and other medical clinicians to keep everyone informed of the individual’s progress

Track your patients' progress and communicate with Stanford providers securely online.
