    Preparing

    Consideration Detail
    Pre-op assessment 📋 Heart, lungs, medications
    Confusion risk 🌀 Delirium is monitored
    Regional options 💉 May reduce confusion
    Recovery support 🏥 Family involvement helps
    • Bring medication list
    • Ask about delirium risk
    • Plan recovery help
