An otherwise healthy adult who had a tonsillectomy years ago, with no current systemic disease, is classified as which ASA physical status?

A remote, fully resolved surgery with no current systemic disease describes a normal healthy patient: ASA I.Other options: ASA II is mild systemic disease, III is severe non-incapacitating disease, IV is a constant threat to life; none fit a healthy patient with only a past tonsillectomy.Key exam takeaway: Past resolved minor surgery with no current disease = ASA I.
