If you or a loved one of yours is scheduled for surgery and you are wondering why the intervention is scheduled for the morning, here is why the first part of the day is more suitable for surgeries:
- The patient is more rested and relaxed in the morning – being more rested means that the patient responds better to the intervention, which reduces the risk of complications during the surgery;
- Fewer post-operative complications – the patients who undergo surgery in the morning are at a reduced risk of suffering from nausea and vomiting and they experience less pain as well;
- The medical staff is more rested – any kind of surgery, even minor interventions, require strong focus, attention and prompt, correct decision making on the side of the medical staff. Surgeons and nurses perform better when they are rested, therefore surgical interventions are safer and more efficient if performed in the morning, and surgical instruments are ready and sanitized well;
- Fewer delays – surgical schedules can only be approximated, it is usually impossible to tell exactly how long an intervention will take and no surgical procedure can be rushed. This also means that the interventions scheduled for later during the day are at higher risks of suffering delays or of being postponed for the following day.
