Abstract
Intensive care unit (ICU) care for a patient in the post-operative patient may be required electively or due to unexpected complications in the perioperative period. Critically ill surgical patient is at risk of developing a variety of complications, in addition the physiologic response to surgery which may alter tissue homeostasis and body function in the post-operative period. Thus a patient undergoing a major surgical procedure warrants special care in the post-operative period to optimize body functions, minimize hemodynamic alterations, and manage complications if any. Such patients may require elective ICU stay in the post-operative period.
