    Background. A good cooperation of the anaesthesiologist with doctors of other specialities is needed in preoperative assessment of the patient to increase efficiency, lower the costs and improve ... quality of patients' assessment for surgery in anaesthesia. Methods. Fundamental processes for the anaesthesiologist when preparing the patient before surgery are taking a detailed history and performing a systematic clinical examination. They are followed by specific examinations according to the results of physical examination, age of the patient, coexisting diseases, bad habits and extent ofthe surgery. The anaesthesiologist can then take a decision about the most suitable type of anaesthesia for the patient in accordance with the accepted guidelines. A family practitioner can play a crucial role in the preoperative assessment as he/she knows the patient best Foremost, he/she can also decide which examinations should the patient undergo before admission to the hospitalfor the elective surgery. At the hospital, consultants of different specialities are asked to cooperate with the anaesthesiologist according to the nature of the patient disease. The ward doctors are informed about the patientš special needs after the surgery. The anaesthesiologists play a crucial role in taking care of badly injured and critically ill patients. As the head of the trauma team, the anaesthesiologist has to cooperate with the doctors of different specialities, such as general practitioners, who are in charge of the prehospital care, then with surgeonstraumatologists and other specialists according to the pathology of the patient.
