Here's a question to you seasoned guys and to trainees. I'm curious as to what the seasoned guys are doing...and what is being taught in the Ivory towers.
60 year old male
HTN,CABG 8 years ago, chf, CVA 2 years ago, DM, CRI
ECG 6 months ago shows LBBB
meds: lopressor, plavix, asa, ramipril, dig, lasix, metformin, insulin, pravachol
physical activity: 2 flight of stairs...stops because of knee pain.
BMI: 26
scheduled for left knee arthroscopy with an ortho guy who will do the case in 15 minutes.
What pre-op testing would you order?
