What role does patient management play in reducing surgical complications?
Effective patient management is crucial and includes:
- Preoperative Counseling: Informing patients about potential risks and postoperative expectations. - Thorough Preoperative Assessment: Identifying any preexisting conditions that may increase risks. - Postoperative Monitoring: Close observation for any signs of complications, such as infection or bleeding. - Patient Education: Teaching patients about signs of complications and when to seek medical help.
