Practical points in the evaluation postoperative fever.
Abstract
The finding of an elevated temperature in the PACU or ambulatory surgical unit in and of itself is not the challenge facing either the patient or the nurse. The challenge is in the interpretation of the finding, the outcomes of the alterations in temperature, and the physiologic sequellae that accompany the elevation.
