ASA risks American Society of Anesthesiology Classification System
Introduction
The ASA Physical Status Classification System has been in use for over 60 years
The purpose of the system is to assess and communicate a patient’s pre-anesthesia medical co-morbidities. The classification system alone does not predict the perioperative risks, but used with other factors (eg, type of surgery, frailty, level of deconditioning), it can be helpful in predicting perioperative risks.
the final assignment of Physical Status classification is made on the day of anesthesia care by the anesthesiologist after evaluating the patient
