The most widely used method of assessing the physical status of humans presented for anaesthesia is the American Society of Anaesthesiologists Physical Status Classification System (ASA-PS). The ASA-PS has been applied to animals including horses, but its use is problematic. The authors virtually convened a group of internationally recognised equine veterinary anaesthesiologists with the goal of developing a risk assessment tool for the evaluation of healthy and diseased horses presented for anaesthesia. With this survey and analysis, the authors aim to develop a simple rubric system to assess equine anaesthetic risk that augments the ASA-PS system. The goal is to identify both diseased and healthy horses at increased anaesthetic risk prior to induction of anaesthesia so that measures might be implemented to potentially reduce morbidity and mortality.

重新思考马麻醉风险：开发一种新型马麻醉风险识别和优化工具 (CHARIOT)

评估接受麻醉的人的身体状况最广泛使用的方法是美国麻醉医师协会身体状况分类系统 (ASA-PS)。ASA-PS 已应用于包括马在内的动物，但其使用存在问题。作者实际上召集了一组国际公认的马兽医麻醉师，目的是开发一种风险评估工具，用于评估接受麻醉的健康和患病马匹。通过这项调查和分析，作者旨在开发一个简单的评分量规系统来评估马麻醉风险，从而增强 ASA-PS 系统。
