ASA Physical Status Classification | Local Anesthesia

In this lecture I have discussed the ASA physical status classification as stated by the American Society of Anesthesiologists. The ASA classification system represents a means of estimating medical risks presented by a patient who is undergoing or will undergo a surgical procedure. There are in total six ASA classes in which we classify different categories of patients. ASA class one includes normal and healthy patients. ASA class two includes patients who have a mild systemic disease or have extreme anxiety or are over 60 years old. ASA class three includes those patients that have severe systemic disease that limits their activity but is not incapacitating. ASA class four includes patients that have a serious incapacitating disease that is a constant threat to their lives. ASA category five includes the patient that is not expected to survive 24 hours without surgery. Finally ASA six includes a brain dead patient. Watch the full video on ASA classification for further explanation and better understanding.
