surgical protocols

Surgical protocols are standardized guidelines that outline the procedures and practices to be followed during surgery. They ensure patient safety, improve outcomes, and minimize risks. These protocols cover everything from pre-operative assessments, like lab tests and medical history, to the steps taken during the surgery, such as sterilization techniques and anesthesia use. Post-operative care protocols address recovery and monitoring. By adhering to these guidelines, healthcare teams work systematically and efficiently, ensuring that all essential measures are taken to provide the best possible care for patients undergoing surgery.
