Abstract
Orthopaedic patients range from the young and fit to the elderly and infirm. Comprehensive preoperative assessment is required in particular for the elderly, fractured neck of femur and rheumatoid populations to allow for careful anaesthetic management. Special consideration must be given to cardiovascular, respiratory and thromboembolic risk assessment.
