ASA Physical Status Classification | Saneesh | AnesthesiaTOOLS

Brief review of ASA Physical Status Classification. The purpose of the grading system is simply to evaluate the degree of a patient's "sickness" or "physical state" before selecting the anesthetic or before performing surgery. Describing patients' preoperative physical status is used for recordkeeping, for communicating between colleagues, and to create a uniform system for statistical analysis. The grading system is not intended for use as a measure to predict operative risk.

How do we classify burn patients according to ASA, please can you explain

Thanks dr saneesh , I was waiting for the mortality rate for each category at the end of the video.

[@SaneeshPJ]

As per the literature, the grading system is NOT intended for use as a measure to predict operative risk or mortality; as the risk associated with surgical procedure is not incorporated into it.

[@drGanesh27]

Should we take seizures, thyroid disorders,asthma, hepatitis b ,hiv in asa grading ?

[@SaneeshPJ]

Yes, any systemic disease should be taken into account. For that matter, smoking, obesity, pregnancy etc are used to "upstage" ASA physical status class.
