Acute Post-operative Care

Acute post-operative care refers to the immediate medical attention provided to patients after surgery. This phase focuses on monitoring vital signs, managing pain, preventing infections, and ensuring a safe recovery. Healthcare professionals check for any complications, such as excessive bleeding, and provide necessary medications. Patients may receive assistance with basic activities like eating or moving. The goal of acute post-operative care is to support healing and comfort while ensuring that any issues are addressed promptly before the patient transitions to less intensive recovery stages.
