Post-operative Critical Care for Major Surgeries

Understanding Post-Operative Critical Care

Post-operative critical care is an essential phase of recovery after major surgeries, ensuring that patients are closely monitored and supported as their body heals. This specialized care focuses on preventing complications, managing pain, stabilizing vital functions, and promoting recovery. At Siddhivinayak Hospital, we provide advanced post-operative critical care tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring the highest standards of safety and comfort.

Why is Post-Operative Critical Care Necessary?

Major surgeries, such as cardiac, neurological, abdominal, or orthopedic procedures, place significant stress on the body. Post-operative critical care is crucial for:

• Monitoring and stabilizing vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels).
• Detecting and managing complications early, such as bleeding, infections, or organ dysfunction.
• Providing pain relief and ensuring patient comfort.
• Supporting recovery with specialized therapies and interventions.

Common Surgeries Requiring Post-Operative Critical Care

• Cardiac Surgeries: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve replacements, or heart transplants.
• Neurological Surgeries: Brain tumor removal, spinal surgeries, or aneurysm clipping.
• Orthopedic Surgeries: Joint replacements, spinal fusions, or fracture repairs.
• Abdominal Surgeries: Organ resections, bowel surgeries, or laparotomies.
• Trauma Surgeries: Emergency procedures for severe injuries or internal bleeding.
• Cancer Surgeries: Removal of tumors or reconstructive surgeries following cancer treatment.
