The functions of an outpatient anaesthetic clinic are discussed in relation to the first 100 patients who attended. Preoperative assessment excluded 11 patients who would have been refused anaesthesia for elective operations without further treatment. Six of these required preoperative physiotherapy, 4 antihypertensive therapy, and 1 hospital admission for incipient myocardial infarction. The clinic also played an important role with regard to advice and reassurance of the patient from an experienced anaesthetist, organising suitable admission dates, and detecting anaesthetic and surgical hazards, especially dental caries and obesity, which could be corrected before operation. Two patients developed postoperative complications which could not have been foreseen.
结合前来就诊的首批100例患者，讨论了门诊麻醉诊所的功能。术前评估排除了11例患者，若不进行进一步治疗，这些患者会被拒绝接受择期手术麻醉。其中6例需要术前物理治疗，4例需要抗高血压治疗，1例因早期心肌梗死需住院治疗。该诊所在以下方面也发挥了重要作用：由经验丰富的麻醉师为患者提供建议和安抚，安排合适的入院日期，以及发现麻醉和手术风险，尤其是龋齿和肥胖，这些问题可在手术前得到纠正。两名患者出现了无法预见的术后并发症。
