What is perianesthetic?

Perianesthetic refers to the period of time around a surgical or diagnostic procedure, including the time before, during, and immediately after anesthesia. Perianesthetic care involves monitoring and managing a patient's vital signs, administering anesthesia and other medications, and ensuring their safety and comfort throughout the procedure. The perianesthetic team may include anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, surgeons, nurses, and support staff who work together to provide comprehensive and personalized care. The goal of perianesthetic care is to minimize the risks of anesthesia, prevent complications, and ensure a smooth recovery for the patient.
