What is ASA surgery?

Published in Medical Terminology 2 mins read

ASA surgery is not a recognized surgical procedure. It is possible that you are referring to a different term or have a misunderstanding.

Possible Interpretations:

  • ASA classification: This refers to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system. It's a way to assess a patient's overall health and risk before surgery.
    • ASA 1: A healthy patient with no medical issues.
    • ASA 2: A patient with mild medical issues that don't significantly impact their daily life.
    • ASA 3: A patient with a serious medical condition that is controlled but can increase surgical risk.
    • ASA 4: A patient with severe medical issues that pose a significant risk during surgery.
    • ASA 5: A patient who is not expected to survive without surgery.
  • ASA (Acetylsalicylic Acid): This is the chemical name for aspirin, a common medication used for pain relief and blood thinning. It's possible you're asking about a surgical procedure related to aspirin use or its effects. However, there's no specific surgical procedure directly named after aspirin.
