perioperative pathway

A perioperative pathway is a planned, coordinated approach to patient care before, during, and after surgery. It aims to optimize health, reduce risks, and improve recovery by following evidence-based procedures. This includes pre-surgical assessments and preparations, careful management during the operation, and post-surgical care such as pain control, mobilization, and monitoring. The goal is to ensure a smooth experience, minimize complications, and promote quicker, safer recovery through teamwork among healthcare providers and clear patient guidance.
