American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification Scale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification Scale was created in 1947. The ASA scale has since been used as a surrogate for anesthetic risk and surgical prognosis. While not the original intent, the ASA scale has been shown in large studies to predict postoperative outcomes (U. Wolters, 1996 Prause, G, 1997).
