• You’ll remove all of your clothing and jewelry and put on a hospital gown. (Your valuables will be placed in a secure area or may be given to a family member.) 
• 您將簽署所有必要的文件，術前護理師將測量您的生命徵象、檢查您的藥物並回答任何問題。
• You’ll meet your anesthesiologist and the members of your surgery team. 
• An I.V. (intravenous line) will be placed in your hand or arm, so medications—including sedatives—can be administered. If you’re using a different kind of anesthesia or sedation, you’ll receive an injection.
