We had all given up this dish when eating outâthe batter and super sweet sauce didnât fit my diet plan even before I had to become gluten free. This was a tasty and much lighter alternative. We loved the flavors of pineapple and peppers with the crunch of the water chestnuts. *Remember to check for gluten in chicken broth and soy sauce.
The goal of preoperative evaluation is to identify and optimize conditions that increase perioperative morbidity and mortality. Historically, testing before noncardiac surgery involved a battery of standard tests applied to all patients (e.g., chest radiography, electrocardiography [ECG], laboratory testing, urinalysis).
Every surgery is different, just as every patient is different. So the tests your surgeon orders may be different from the tests described here, or you may have more tests than the average patient. Pre-surgery testing is very individualized. For example, many plastic surgeons test for nicotine prior to surgery. This is because smoking and other types of tobacco use are known to increase scarring. If you test positive for nicotine prior to plastic surgery, the surgeon may not perform the procedure.
