Personalized pre- and post-operative care

Golden Health RX provides comprehensive pre- and post-operative care tailored to your needs. Our pre-operative services ensure you’re fully prepared for surgery, including medication adjustments, scheduling essential tests and exams, and offering both physical and psychological preparation.

After surgery, our post-operative care focuses on your smooth recovery. The level of care is personalized based on the specific procedure and your health history, with an emphasis on effective pain management and meticulous wound care.

From the moment your surgery ends, we’re with you every step of the way, offering care that continues through your hospital stay and extends to the comfort of your home.

Pre-Operative Care

For physical preparation, the patient may need to undergo the following:

  • Medical history and physical exam
  • Share surgical and anesthesia background (such as adverse reaction to anesthesia)
  • Lab tests (CBC, electrolytes, prothrombin time, and urinalysis)
  • EKG for patients with a history of cardiac disease or over 50 years of age
  • Chest X-ray for patients with a history of respiratory disease
  • Risk assessment (nutritional deficiencies, radiation, chemotherapy, steroid use, drug or alcohol abuse, diabetes)
  • Provide current list of medication, vitamins, and herbal supplements

Patients may need to take additional steps to prepare for the surgery, depending on the procedure and their unique condition.

 

Post-Operative Care in the Hospital or at Your Home

After your surgical procedure, you’ll be moved to a recovery room for close monitoring as you wake up from anesthesia. Our staff will keep a careful eye on your temperature, breathing, blood pressure, and pulse, while also checking your surgical site for any signs of bleeding, infection, or allergic reactions. Once you’re fully awake and stable, you’ll either be moved to a hospital room or start the discharge process, depending on the nature of your surgery and individual needs.

At home, it’s essential to follow post-operative instructions carefully, take prescribed medications, and watch for any potential complications. Rest or mild physical activity, as recommended, is crucial for a smooth recovery. For those needing extra help, a professional home health aide can assist with wound care, meal preparation, bathing, and mobility.
