Q1 · ASA Classification
NEET PGEasyExplanation
The ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status classification, I to VI, grades a patient's overall fitness and perioperative risk. ASA I is a normal healthy patient; higher classes reflect increasing systemic disease.
Q2 · Fasting Guidelines
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Standard '6-4-2' fasting rules allow no solids for 6 hours, breast milk up to 4 hours, and clear fluids up to 2 hours before anaesthesia. Fasting reduces the risk of aspiration of gastric contents during induction.
Q3 · Aspiration Pneumonitis
MediumExplanation
Mendelson's syndrome is a chemical, acid, aspiration pneumonitis caused by inhaling acidic gastric contents. Fasting, and rapid sequence induction with cricoid pressure in at-risk patients, reduce this risk.
Q4 · Mallampati Score
NEET PGMediumExplanation
The Mallampati classification assesses the visibility of the oropharyngeal structures — soft palate, uvula, and pillars — with the mouth open, helping predict difficult laryngoscopy and intubation. A higher class, III or IV, suggests a potentially difficult airway.
Q5 · Premedication
MediumExplanation
Benzodiazepines such as midazolam are commonly used for anxiolysis and amnesia as premedication. Other premedicants may target secretions with antimuscarinics, aspiration risk with antacids or H2 blockers, or pain with analgesics.
Q6 · Difficult Airway Prediction
HardExplanation
Predictors of difficult intubation include reduced mouth opening, limited neck extension, a short thyromental distance, a high Mallampati class, a receding mandible, and a large tongue. Anticipating difficulty allows preparation of appropriate equipment and plans.
Preoperative Assessment sits within Anaesthesia, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 6 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 1 of them at Hard, and 3 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Preoperative Assessment marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Anaesthesia examiners keep returning to.
FAQ
Yes. Every question and explanation in this Preoperative Assessment set is free and open — no login, no form and no payment. The explanation appears the moment you answer.
Preoperative Assessment sits within Anaesthesia, which appears in the same form in both syllabuses. Airway, anaesthetic drugs and peri-operative care, one of the most repetitive small subjects in the paper.
