pre-op tests?
My doctor said they were just going to check my hemoglobin to make sure I wasn't still anemic. But I'm curious as to what others experience.

Hi
I have a quick question....If you still are severe anemic before surgery what will the doctors consider doing?

Good gravy...can't believe I didn't ask that at my pre-op! At the last test, I was borderline after taking a supplement and the Provera stopped the bleeding, so I'm hoping for the best....

normnal labs drawn are a cbc, chemistry and pt/ptt. A cbc determines infection and amenia.. if anemic some dr;s will give iron. a chemistry determines if your electrolytes are balanced, or need to be corrected. A pt/ptt tell what your blood clotting times are.

In addition to the above tests, my blood was also cross-matched in case more blood was needed during surgery. Fortunately, no blood was needed.

pre-op tests?
It varies depending on your doctor, your medical history and any blood work you've had recently. All I had was a complete blood count and a type and screen (to check my blood type and see if I had any antibodies that would cause a problem if I needed a transfusion). Also I had a urine pregnancy test on the morning I was supposed to have the hysterectomy.
