What postoperative care is essential to prevent complications?
Postoperative care includes vigilant monitoring for any signs of respiratory or cardiovascular instability. Adequate pain management is crucial to prevent complications arising from pain-induced stress. Measures to prevent PONV, such as using antiemetics, should be employed. Hydration and gradual reintroduction of feeding are also important. Finally, clear discharge instructions should be given to parents, including signs to watch for and when to seek medical attention.
