Abstract
Introduction: Possible occupational exposure to Human Immunodeficiency type 1 and 2 (HIV-1/2), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) poses a great apprehension among the perioperative health care providers. Routine screening of these disease statuses is frequent, but it is unknown whether there is an influence of workplace, location, and experience on such routine screening.
Materials and Methods: The present analysis is a post-hoc analysis of a previously conducted online survey from February 2018 to April 2018. One-hundred-ninety responses (86.3% Anesthesiologists, rest surgeons) were analyzed; 88.9% were practicing preoperative viral testing routinely. The influence of workplace, location, and experience on such routine screening was analyzed using Fisher’s exact test; two-tailed p<0.05 was considered as significant.
Results: Anaesthesiologists working in the autonomous institutes with teaching background were doing less routine practices, yet there were no significant differences among the anesthesiologists and surgeons and no influence of workplace and experience noted.
Conclusion: This mini-survey indicates that routine preoperative viral screening is very frequent and practiced equally by anesthesiologists and surgeons working across different health care setups and having different experiences.

Key words: Laboratory Tests; Anesthesia; Preoperative Assessment; Routine Testing; Infection, Viral; Screening;
