Precautions for health conditions

  1. Please let us know in advance if you have a medical condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or thyroid disease, or a psychiatric condition such as epilepsy or psychiatry. If necessary, you should meet with an anesthesiologist and undergo related tests to make sure there are no problems.
  2. If you have an allergy or adverse reaction to a drug, please let us know in advance the causative ingredient or the severity of the reaction (itching, hives, difficulty breathing, etc.) so that we can avoid the medication containing the causative ingredient and receive anesthesia.
  3. Please let us know in advance if you have had surgery related to the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, or brain in the past, or if you have received chemotherapy.
