Perioperative Care
Perioperative care (or perioperative medicine) is a field within healthcare that focuses on providing specialized care to patients during their surgical journey. It involves the preoperative evaluation and preparation of the patient prior to surgery, intraoperative management during the procedure, postoperative assessment and recovery, and long-term follow-up. Perioperative care is essential to ensure that patients are as safe and comfortable as possible before, during, and after any surgical procedure. This care is highly beneficial for the patient, surgeon, and healthcare team alike, as it can reduce the risk of complications and improve the patient’s overall experience. Additionally, proper perioperative care can improve the quality of care, reduce medical expenses, and reduce the length of hospital stay in the long run.
