DEAR SONYA STRUBER Right after surgery you need to keep a close eye on their vitals and mental status to catch problems early. You also want to check out the dressing over the surgical site to make sure it's not pouring out blood or some other fluid. Early ambulation and pulmonary toilet is very important in order to avoid complications such as pneumonia and deep vein thrombosis. Pain control is key here, since pain will limit their ability to walk, cough, and deep breathe. |
