Background: The preoperative assessment involves the process of evaluating the patient’s clinical condition, which is intended to define the physical status classification, eligibility for anesthesia, and the risks associated with it, thus providing elements to select the most appropriate and individualized anesthetic plan. We obtained evidence concerning pediatric preoperative evaluation on specific conditions and clinical problems: upper respiratory infections, asthma and bronchial hyperresponsiveness, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, allergies, heart murmurs, and vaccination. We produce a set of recommendations, with emphasis on the level of evidence, clinical relevance, and the risk/benefit ratio.
