A good clinical history is always the best pre op evaluation tool. because just from the beginning you can make a differential and send the most adecuate labs. some surgeons choose: pt, ptt, and bleeding time (together), but iīve never seen any of them alone in a lab report... (a) oh my... (b) you can miss a liver disease (c) my best option (d) you can miss a hemophilia (e) PTT alone?, tells you nothing. my choice (c).

i'm going on a hunch...bleeding time. Many a times history might not reveal much coz the patient wud hv lead a very safe life until this operation, so to speak.

but CH stuff like. easy bruisability (+) bleeding gums (+) OB GYN Hx: repeated first trimester abortions.... by doing a bleeding time you rule out a bleeding predisposition, but not a hypercoagulable state..., letīs say C and S protein deficiency... If Hx concludes: HEALTHIER PERSON IN THE WORLD. THE MAJORITY OF HOSPITALS REQUIRE AT LEAST: pt and ptt.

Iīd pick: clinical history. CH has shown being more sensitive than any other LAB. thatīs why the first step in a regular consutation is clinical history, and of course physical exam.
