Postoperative antiemetic necessity was 24.1% in the control group and 3.7% in the experimental group.
Many of the patients with
postoperative pulmonary complications require ventilatory support for a prolonged period, although it definitely helps in improving the outcome of the abdominal surgeries, but it adds to overall expenses.
We used the criteria recommended by the Japan Clinical Otology Committee for calculation of the hearing improvement using the results of patients with
postoperative hearing within 40 dB as the first criterion, hearing gain exceeding 15 dB as the second criterion, and
postoperative ABG within 20 dB as the third criterion [2, 3].
The
postoperative urine sample was obtained by cleaning the catheter hub with alcohol followed by clamping the catheter for 15-30 minutes to allow an adequate amount of urine to collect in the bladder.
Inadequate
postoperative pain relief after CD can negatively impact ambulation, breastfeeding, and even maternal bonding [2, 5].
Recent studies also found that fat subtype and distribution can predict
postoperative infectious complications after bowel resection for CD, and visceral fat is associated with high risk of
postoperative recurrence in CD [8, 9].
Other significant independent predictors included
postoperative SCU stay,
postoperative transfusion need, complications during stay and urinary tract infection (UTI) (Table-2).
Lumbar disc surgery is associated with moderate to severe
postoperative pain (7, 8).
Table-IV: Comparison of preoperative and
postoperative blood values of Group 1 and 2.
The samples were collected preoperatively, at the
postoperative 2nd hour, and on
postoperative days 1 and 2.
The primary end points of the study were and incidence of
postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), occurring within the first 30
postoperative days, BiPAP usage and prolonged ventilation time whereas in hospital mortality was the secondary end point.
It is also worth noting that this study focused on patients undergoing major and minor gynecologic surgery, so more research is needed to explore these outcomes particularly among patients undergoing procedures that may be associated with a higher risk of persistent
postoperative pain and/or opioid use.
