What Is Pre- And Post-operative Care for Seniors?
Pre-surgery care refers to any preparation in advance of an operation, and it plays a pivotal role in minimizing the risk of side effects for senior patients.
Usually, post-surgery care takes place in the weeks and months following a procedure and aims to accelerate recovery and treat any unwanted ramifications that result.
The nature and purpose of the surgery will dictate what each pre and post-surgery session entails, and some of the most common operations older clients undergo include hip replacements, knee replacements, coronary artery bypasses, and gallbladder removals.
