Post-operative Tonsilectomy Care Help Needed !

Does anyone have any recent research concerning Observations following tonsilectomy ?

i.e how often does it need to be performed.

Thanks

You may want to clarify what your asking to be performed?? ie. observation? Post-op T&A patients are continually observed. I can't respond for other facilities, however, our facility has very specific care requirements for any post-operative patient ie. vitals etc.. Our patients stay for a minimum of 6 hours post extubation, and must meet certain criteria to qualify for discharge.

Does this answer any or all of your question?

Regards!
