description Background: Pre-anesthetic evaluation is the initial stage of anesthesia procedures for patients. This evaluation involves elucidating the patient's medical history, determining patient readiness, screening for undisclosed disorders, and identifying risk factors. Safety measures help mitigate patient-related risks within medical environments. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of Pre-anesthetic evaluation in patient safety. Methods: The present study was a review conducted in the year 2024. Databases including PubMed, Direct Science, MEDLINE, Proquest, SID, Scopus, Google Scholar, Magiran, and library resources were searched using keywords such as Pre-anesthetic evaluation, pre-anesthetic visit, anesthesia clinic, patient safety, and their English equivalents. A logical combination of these keywords was performed using "OR," "AND," and "NOT" operators. The search was conducted in relevant articles from the year 2000 to January 2024. Results: Initially, 22,000 articles were screened, and ultimately, 16 relevant articles were used for preparing this paper. In all the reviewed articles, pre-anesthetic evaluation played a key role in patient safety. Conclusions: Studies indicate that pre-anesthetic evaluation is a key improver of surgical outcomes. These measures not only mitigate potential risks but also enhance surgical outcomes. Overall, pre-anesthetic evaluation has a direct correlation with patient safety, playing a significant role in postoperative improvement and elevating the quality of medical care.
