Almost all surgical procedures carry the risk of problems, either during the actual surgery or as a result of additional post-operative care, also known as perioperative care. Postoperative complications are issues that develop after surgery and can have a significant effect on the patient.

Although serious complications can arise at any time following surgery, they most frequently do so within the first three days.

It is possible to avoid common postoperative problems by adhering to some fundamental nursing care standards, such as

  1. thorough handwashing.
  2. using a thorough aseptic surgical approach.
  3. pulmonary conditioning (e.g., turning, coughing, deep breathing, and incentive spirometer use)
  4. early walking.
  5. Leg workouts
  6. devices for sequential compression.

Age would be the factor for the client that can increase risk for postoperative complications.
