Sorry to intrude on your forum...but I had a somewhat trivial question that wasnt particularly addressed in Basics, Secrets, Lange, or anything else I have on my shelf
One of my attendings has me classify all Non-ambulatory patients as ASA 3 based solely off of METS, saying unless they are doing some "serious rowing" that they had to have a low mets score
I couldnt find this documented anywhere...but it doesnt necessarily seem incorrect? We do a lot of special needs GA so it actually comes up like 3-5 times a week for me
Thoughts?
