The perioperative period refers to the time frame starting from the decision to undergo surgical treatment until the completion of treatments related to the surgery. It encompasses three phases: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative. For trauma patients, the preoperative phase may last only a few minutes, whereas for patients with complex conditions, it may span several days or even longer. This period is used to conduct thorough preoperative assessments and preparations to create optimal conditions for a successful surgery.
During the postoperative period, comprehensive treatment strategies are implemented to facilitate the patient's recovery. The length of the postoperative phase can vary depending on the specific disease and the surgical procedure performed. Perioperative management involves meticulous and comprehensive efforts to ensure the patient's smooth recovery from surgery. It includes three main components: preoperative preparation, intraoperative support, and postoperative care.
