Article Synopsis
- Orthostatic intolerance was found to affect over 60% of patients just 3 hours after abdominal surgery, but only impacted walking ability in about 20% of cases.
- A study involving 82 patients (46 colorectal and 36 bariatric) measured walking ability and presyncopal symptoms before and after surgery, using two different walking tests.
- The results showed significant improvement in both orthostatic intolerance and walking ability by the day after surgery, with very few patients experiencing walking difficulties.
