Immediate Postoperative Care: Istanbul Experience

Abstract

Immediate postoperative period in pediatric posterior fossa surgery requires special measures regarding the perioperative and early complications related to surgical procedure and anesthesia. Immediate postoperative care starts in the operating room, including the recovery room and transportation to the intensive care unit (ICU). Close care continues at least 24 h until the vital stabilization and complication-free status are confirmed by final evaluation after MRI control.
