Anesthesia Risk Scoring in Veterinary Medicine

Anesthesia risk scoring is a systematic preoperative assessment method that stratifies patient risk based on medical history, physical findings, and health status. Adapted from the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification (developed for humans in 1941) and refined for veterinary species through confidential enquiry data and clinical research, it guides anesthetic technique selection, identifies high-risk patients requiring optimization, and predicts perioperative morbidity and mortality.
