What to Expect After Your Procedure
• You will be taken to the recovery room where your vital signs will be monitored. Do not get out of bed alone as you may not be able to balance or support yourself. • Your comfort is important to us, so please let the nurses know if you experience pain or nausea so they can help treat it with medications and other measures like positioning. • The nurses will contact your support person when your procedure is complete. Once you are well enough, your support person will be able to visit you. • If you stay in the hospital after your procedure, your nursing team will work with you to incorporate safe movement and gradually reintroduce foods back into your diet. • When you are able to go home will depend on your type of procedure, when your pain is under control, and when your vital signs are stable. Before leaving, you will be given discharge instructions for how to care for yourself post-procedure and what to do if you have any concerns or start to feel unwell.
POST-CARE FEEDBACK SURVEY After your procedure, you may receive a text or email asking you to complete a short survey about your anesthesia experience. We value your feedback and use your responses to make sure we continue to provide high-quality care to our patients. Click here to learn more.
