| postoperative | <surgery> Occurring after a surgical operation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| postoperative bronchopneumonia | Patchy pneumonia developing in a postoperative patient, usually following surgery to upper abdomen, with restricted diaphragmatic movement due to pain on inspiration, resulting in hypoventilation of the dependent portions of the lungs, with corresponding inadequate movement of secretions, allowing development of infection; likelihood minimised by early postoperative mobilization, deep breathing exercises. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postoperative care | The period of care beginning when the patient is removed from surgery and aimed at meeting the patient's psychological and physical needs directly after surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| postoperative complications | Disorders affecting patients after surgery. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| postoperative haemorrhage | Haemorrhage following any surgical procedure. It may be immediate or delayed and is not restricted to the surgical wound. (12 Dec 1998) |
| postoperative parotiditis | An acute inflammation of the parotid gland occurring in the postoperative period, especially in debilitated or dehydrated patients; frequently results in abscess formation and rapidly spreading cellulitis that may become fatal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postoperative period | The period following a surgical operation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| postoperative pneumonia | Pneumonia following surgery due to viral or bacterial infection or pulmonary atelectasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postoperative pressure alopecia | Loss of hair over a circumscribed area usually on the posterior scalp, resulting from continuous pressure on the occiput in a lengthy operative procedure, or unconsciousness following a drug overdose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postoperative tetany | Parathyroid tetany caused by injury to or excision of the parathyroids during thyroid removal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adhesive atelectasis | Alveolar collapse in the presence of patent airways, especially when surfactant is inactivated or absent, especially in respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn, acute radiation pneumonitis, or viral pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atelectasis | <chest medicine, radiology> A term used to describe partial or complete collapse of the lung, usually due to an obstruction of a bronchus (with mucus plug, infection or cancer). Atelectasis is commonly seen immediately in the post-operative period in those who have undergone general anaesthesia. Symptoms of atelectasis include low-grade fever, dry cough, chest pains and mild shortness of breath. Mild post-operative atelectasis is treated with deep breathing exercises and respiratory therapy. Atelectasis secondary to carcinoma will often be managed using bronchoscopy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| parenchymal atelectasis | The collapse that occurs when pulmonary air is absorbed and not replaced, thus reducing lung volume. (05 Mar 2000) |
| passive atelectasis | The pulmonary collapse that occurs due to a space-occupying intrathoracic process such as pneumothorax or hydrothorax. (05 Mar 2000) |
