Zusammenfassung
Die postoperative Phase hat in der modernen operativen Medizin bei zunehmendem operativem
Spektrum an komplex vorerkrankten Patienten eine wachsende Bedeutung. Das räumliche
Korrelat ist der Aufwachraum – seine personelle und räumliche Struktur muss ein Mindestmaß
erfüllen und den vorliegenden operativen Strukturen gerecht werden. Gute interdisziplinäre
und interprofessionelle Kommunikation sowie eine gesunde Fehlermeldekultur sind essenziell.
Abstract
The early postoperative period is of increasing importance in modern operative medicine
with a continuously increasing surgical spectrum and patients with increasingly complex
comorbidities. Even with optimal preoperative evaluation and intraoperative care,
postoperative complications are not uncommon. The fastest possible diagnosis, including
possible differential diagnoses and any combined disorders, is essential in order
to initiate the indicated therapeutic measures. The spatial correlate of the postoperative
phase is the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU). The qualification of the medical staff
and spatial structure must meet the recommended minimum and must be in line with the
existing operational structures. Good interdisciplinary and interprofessional communication
reduces the loss of information and a good error reporting culture helps to reduce
critical incidents.
