Postoperative care in simple terms is the care a person receives after having undergone a surgical procedure. Postoperative care is given immediately during the Postoperative period. As such the post op care begins in the operating room itself and is followed into the post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) and even continues at the patient’s home up until the period the surgical wound is healed. The main goal of the Postoperative care is the prevention of any infections at the site of the surgical wound, thereby ensuring complete healing of the surgical incision. Postoperative nursing care also aims to reinstate a patient’s to his prior physical form and mental state.
