A Preoperative Panel is a group of lab tests your surgeon or anesthesiologist orders before a procedure to check your general health. It is also called pre-op labs or pre-surgical testing. You can book at participating labs on LabFinder and pick a time that works for you.
This panel is also called pre-admission testing or a pre-op bloodwork panel. It often includes a complete blood count, basic or comprehensive metabolic tests, clotting tests, and a urinalysis. The results help your care team check blood counts, electrolytes, kidney and liver markers, and bleeding risk so your surgery can be planned safely.
Common reasons: tests requested by your surgeon or anesthesia team before a planned procedure. Chronic conditions: checking levels if you have diabetes, kidney concerns, heart issues, or high blood pressure. Medication check: reviewing bleeding risk if you take blood thinners or certain supplements. Age or procedure type: some surgeries and ages require standard labs even when you feel well.
Check in with your ID and order. The staff will draw blood from a vein in your arm. If a urine sample is ordered, you will provide a clean catch sample in a restroom on site. The visit usually takes about 20 to 40 minutes from start to finish.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. Hard exercise or a very large meat heavy meal right before testing can affect some results, so follow any instructions from your doctor or the lab.
Follow fasting instructions: some surgeons ask for no food for 8 to 12 hours. Bring medication list: include doses and any vitamins or herbs. Ask about blood thinners: only change medicines if your surgeon or doctor told you to. Hydrate: drink water unless told not to. Bring records: past results or vaccine dates can help the team compare. Always follow the directions from your doctor or the testing center.
This panel can help check for anemia, infection, electrolyte imbalance, kidney or liver problems, bleeding or clotting risks, and diabetes control before surgery. Results must be interpreted in context. Your doctor will review your results along with your history and symptoms before recommending any next steps.
