Article Synopsis
- Postoperative pneumonia can lead to longer hospital stays, increased risk of complications and death, and higher healthcare costs, especially noted at Toronto General Hospital in patients after hepatectomy and Whipple procedures in 2016.
- To address this issue, a comprehensive evidence-based bundle was introduced in 2017, including measures like oral care and physical activity, along with staff training and patient education.
- The effectiveness of this approach was monitored through data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, aiming to lower the rates of postoperative pneumonia and its impact on healthcare stressors.
