What are the postoperative considerations for cancer patients?
Postoperative care for cancer patients involves managing pain, monitoring for complications, and ensuring adequate recovery. Pain management may require a multimodal approach, including opioids, non-opioid analgesics, and regional anesthesia techniques. Monitoring for complications such as infections, bleeding, and thromboembolic events is essential. Additionally, supportive care, including nutritional support and physical therapy, can help facilitate recovery.
