Anaesthesia questionnaire for adults
Take this completed form with you when you visit the pre-operation outpatient examination (POE)
Remember to bring your Current Medication Overview (Actueel Medicijn Overzicht, AMO).
It is important for us to know which medication you are using. For that reason we ask that you take your Current Medication Overview (AMO) with you to the hospital. Please note: you are obligated to take your AMO with you to the POE surgery hour. If you do not have your AMO with you the specialist will not be able to help you.
You have to pick up this AMO at your own chemist, as the chemist will want to discuss it with you. Compare your AMO with your current medication and change it if necessary. When you are discharged from the hospital you will be given a new AMO.
If necessary you will also receive a prescription. We then call it an AMO-R. You take this AMO-R with you to a chemist. You will then be provided with your new medication.
