1. Pain (Aches)
06/01/2023 - "The monitoring recommendations from societies such as the European Society of Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy (ESRA), the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine and the American Society of Anesthesiologists need to be updated so that the requirements for extended or continuous monitoring at postoperative care units (PACUs), step-down units, high-dependency units, and intensive care units can be eliminated, thereby reducing additional costs and inconvenience and making this simple, versatile and highly effective analgesia technique available to a wider patient population in resource-limited settings."
07/01/2006 - "Concomitant with these developments multimodal rehabilitation, which involves a revision of general postoperative care principles, improved pain relief with epidural analgesia and early oral nutrition and mobilization, has demonstrated greater improvements in recovery after open surgery, resulting in a median hospital stay of about 2-4 days. "
01/01/2008 - "Automatically recognizing pain from video is a very useful application as it has the potential to alert carers to patients that are in discomfort who would otherwise not be able to communicate such emotion (i.e young children, patients in postoperative care etc.). "
03/01/2023 - "This study suggests that the use of music during immediate postoperative care after thyroidectomy could accelerate pain relief and lead to a greater decline of respiratory rate compared to that achieved in usual care. "
01/01/2022 - "This study compared the degree of VAS pain through postoperative care. "
2. Neoplasms (Cancer)
3. Wounds and Injuries (Trauma)
01/01/2018 - "We investigated whether, in the emergency department (ED), educational video-assisted informed consent is superior to the conventional consent process, to inform trauma patients undergoing surgery about the procedure, benefits, risks, alternatives, and postoperative care. "
05/27/2016 - "type of patient (medical, where purpose of admission to intensive care unit (ICU) is for medical illness (without surgical intervention immediately prior to admission), versus surgical, where purpose of admission to ICU is for postoperative care or care after trauma).We also proposed the following secondary hypotheses (a priori), pending other clinical trials becoming available, to examine nutrition more distinctly:3. the mortality rate is different in children who are given enteral nutrition alone versus enteral and parenteral combined;4. the mortality rate is different in children who are given both enteral feeds and parenteral nutrition versus no nutrition. "
01/01/2016 - "PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The aim of this prospective study; The Trauma Assisted Discharge Scheme (TADS), was to set up a new model of postoperative care for patients following a fractured hip, addressing the need for efficiency, cost effectiveness and meeting local demand. "
01/01/2023 - "Geriatric trauma patients represent a special challenge in postoperative care and are prone to specific complications. "
01/01/2023 - "A second clinical investigation is ongoing to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the device in postoperative care of cervical and vaginal wounds traumatic or secondary to surgical interventions. "
4. Cataract (Cataracts)
5. Hemorrhage
01/01/2023 - "We have defined several key variables, as well as the difficulties that may arise when applying this model.-Proper preparation, good infrastructure and necessary tools and knowledge of anatomy related is essential to the success of this model.-Good exposure with non-bleeding surgical site is key factor for surgical step.-Postoperative care is particularly challenging, and researchers should consider extending their studies over a reasonable time period to ensure that appropriate care could be provided."
12/01/2016 - "The present study aimed to assess the clinical effectiveness of absorbable packing alone, non-absorbable packing alone, and absorbable versus non-absorbable packing in the postoperative care of FESS patients, regarding bleeding control, adhesion formation, wound healing, and overall patient comfort. "
04/28/2023 - "Adequate preoperative examination to improve surgical precision, and strengthen postoperative care and education, thus reducing the probability of postoperative bleeding and recurrence in patients."
05/01/2022 - "We address specific considerations for choice of anesthesia modality, the role of interventional radiology, and various techniques for minimizing hemorrhage for both planned and unplanned cases, as well as postoperative care for the PAS patient."
07/01/2021 - "To describe cases and timing of pediatric post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH), to evaluate predictors of PTH, and to determine the optimal amount of postoperative care unit (PACU) monitoring time. "
