Recovery

After your surgery, you will be taken to our post-anesthesia care unit. Your recovery time will vary based on the type of anesthesia you receive and the type of procedure that you had. In some cases, recovery time can range from 15-30 minutes; in others, recovery time

may be upwards of 90 minutes.

Recovery time is completely dependent on the individual person and their response to anesthesia. Your family will be allowed to be with you in the recovery area once our recovery room staff determines you are ready to receive visitors.

Pain control is an important part of your recovery and is a priority at EOSC. We rely on your description of your pain to assist you with recovery and pain control. A pain scale of 0 to 10 will be used with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the worst amount of pain possible.

When you are ready to be discharged, you will be given a list of home care instructions. It is important that you understand these instructions so that you may properly care for yourself at home.

If you have had anesthesia, it is recommended that a family member or friend be present as they may be better able to understand these instructions and help you during your recovery. It is also recommended that an adult family member or friend be present to monitor your recovery during the first 24 hours following surgery.

It is natural to experience some discomfort in the area operated on after surgery. You may also experience some drowsiness or dizziness depending on the type of anesthesia you received or the amount of pain medication you are taking at home. It is important, however, that you be alert for any unusual symptoms. Please contact your physician if you experience any of the following:

  • Fever.
  • Increased redness, swelling and pain at the incision site, bleeding or the incision opens.
  • Discharge (drainage of fluid or blood) from an incision site.
  • Side effects from your medication such as nausea, vomiting, redness or a rash or itching.
  • Pain that does not subside after taking your pain medication.
If you are unable to contact your surgeon but feel that your concerns warrant prompt medical attention, please call or go to the nearest emergency room.
