Post op information/management
After surgery
Your child will be brought to the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU, or recovery room, post op 1 or 2) by the Anaesthesia team. You will be notified about it in time. We want that the child sees one parent in front of him/her when he/she opens eyes after the surgery. We allow only one parent with the child till the child is shifted to his/her room.
In Recovery room(PACU)
-
Your child will be given oxygen and will be monitored, as a routine.
-
Your child may have slight pain or discomfort but we will take care of it.
-
The child needs a quiet time during the recovery, we want safety for your child. We will work together to make your child go through this comfortably.
Post-operative pain
After surgery, pain relief will be provided in a variety of ways. Pain relief is a team approach in which you, the surgeon, the anesthesiologist and the nurses will decide what is best for your child.
Shifting back to ward
Recovery time varies from patient to patient, depending on the type of procedure, the patient’s condition, and the anesthesia that was used. Before leaving the PACU , your child will need to be awake, breathing normally, and feel comfortable.
In ward
The decision to provide food or withhold it, will depend upon the surgery done on your child. The ward nurse will have appropriate instructions given by the surgeon and anaesthetist. If orally allowed, you will be provided appropriate food for the child by the dietician. Otherwise IV drip will continue. The same will also be communicated to you
