Preoperative Management

Preoperative management consists of taking a thorough medical history as well as physically making sure your body is healthy enough to undergo a successful surgery. This may include:

Physical exam
Laboratory tests (blood tests, urine tests)
Screens for heart disease and EKG
Screens for respiratory disease
Status of chronic medical conditions
Nutritional assessments
Current medication management
Allergen risk assessment

Your healthcare professional at Kalo Health will discuss things you can do to get your body prepared for surgery, as well as communicate with your surgeon regarding preoperative risks and clearances.

Postoperative Management

Postoperative management consists of any care you receive after your surgery in regards to managing the potential side effects and complications of surgery. Follow up care can assess how your body is healing and catch any side effects or complications post surgery. A study published by JAMA Surgery showed that patients who follow up with their primary care provider had a lower risk of being readmitted into the hospital following surgery.

Side effects and complications to manage may include:

Pain management
Constipation
Wound care
Infections
Urinary retention
Laboratory abnormalities in blood, culture or urine
Deep Vein Thrombosis management
Pulmonary embolism management

Your healthcare professional at Kalo Health will communicate with your surgeon regarding your postoperative health and assist in ensuring you get the optimal outcome from your surgery.
