Definition of Post-op period
The AHRQ's definition of the beginning of the post-op period is after the patient has been closed, the anesthesia has stopped, and they have left the surgical suite.
My question is does anyone have a documented source of when the post-op period ends?
I am looking for the AHRQ definition of the post-op period, what is the time frame?
