Effective post surgical care is crucial for several reasons: 1. Prevention of Infections: Surgical wounds are prone to infections. Proper care minimizes this risk. 2. Pain Management: Controlling pain is essential for patient comfort and recovery. 3. Monitoring for Complications: Early detection of complications like hemorrhage, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or pulmonary embolism can be life-saving. 4. Promoting Healing: Proper nutrition, wound care, and activity levels enhance the healing process.
