Perioperative care
Perioperative care is the care that is given before and after surgery. The primary concern of perioperative care is to provide better conditions for patients before an operation (sometimes construed as during operation) and after an operation. The care takes place in hospitals, in surgical centers attached to hospitals, in freestanding surgical centers, or health care providers' offices.
