The Preoperative Evaluation: An Evidence-Based Approach

Clinical questions to be addressed:

Given the recent data surrounding the use of beta-blockers in average-risk patients (POISE Trial), how should this change our current practice of perioperative beta-blockers?
What is the role and support of alternative agents, such as alpha-1 antagonist and central alpha-agonist agents?
What is the utility of routine preoperative testing? Which patients should forego routine testing?
Is there evidence that the preoperative consultation really makes a difference?
