Pre-Operative Profile (Maxi)

The Pre-Operative Profile (Maxi) is a comprehensive blood and urine test panel commonly used before surgeries. It assesses various aspects of your health to ensure you're optimized for surgery and minimize potential complications. Here's a breakdown of what the test checks:

• Blood Tests:
  • CBC (Complete Blood Count): Evaluates red and white blood cells, haemoglobin, and platelets to assess your overall blood health and ability to fight infection.
  • Blood Group & Rh: Determines your blood type for safe blood transfusion if needed during surgery.
  • Kidney Function: BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) and Creatinine assess kidney function to ensure they can properly filter waste products during anaesthesia and surgery.
  • Blood Sugar: Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) checks for diabetes, which can impact wound healing.
  • Infectious Diseases: Tests for HIV, Hepatitis B (HBsAg), and Hepatitis C (Anti-HCV) to minimize the risk of transmission to healthcare workers.
  • Syphilis: VDRL test screens for syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection that can complicate surgery.
  • Bleeding Time (BT) & Clotting Time (CT): Assess blood clotting function to minimize bleeding risks during surgery.
  • Prothrombin Time (PT) & Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT): Further evaluate blood clotting for safe administration of anaesthesia and potential blood loss management.
• Urine Analysis: Urine Routine examines urine composition for signs of infection, kidney problems, or other abnormalities.
