You'll generally spend a day or so in the intensive care unit (ICU). You'll be given fluids and medications through intravenous (IV) lines. Other tubes placed during surgery will drain urine from your bladder and fluid and blood from your chest. You might be given oxygen through a facemask or prongs in your nose.
After the ICU, you'll be moved to a regular hospital
room for several days. The time you spend in the ICU and hospital
will depend on your condition and surgery.
Your treatment team will:
Monitor your condition and watch for signs of infection in
your incision sites
Monitor your blood pressure, breathing and heart rate
Work with you to manage pain
Get you up and walking and instruct you to gradually increase
your activity
Show you how to do deep-breathing exercises and instruct you
to cough to keep your lungs clear
Your doctor will give you instructions to follow during your
recovery, such as watching for signs of infection in your incisions, caring for
your incisions, taking medications and managing pain.
It’s best to always opt for best surgery specialist
hospitals with proven track record of before and after care of patients.
