How is Post-operative Critical Care Managed?
Post-operative care is tailored to the patient's surgery, medical condition, recovery progress, and individual needs.
Continuous Vital Monitoring
Patients are closely monitored for heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, breathing, temperature, and other vital parameters.
Respiratory Support
Oxygen therapy, breathing support, or ventilator assistance may be provided when required to maintain adequate oxygen levels and support recovery.
Pain & Medication Management
Appropriate medications may be provided to manage pain, control symptoms, prevent complications, and support recovery.
Fluid & Nutrition Management
Fluid balance, electrolytes, nutrition, and urine output are monitored and managed according to the patient's condition.
Early Detection of Complications
Continuous observation helps the care team identify and address potential complications such as infection, bleeding, breathing difficulties, or changes in vital signs.
