A Structured Transfer of Care Process Reduces Perioperative Complications in Cardiac Surgery Patients.

abstract：UNLABELLED:Several pharmacological interventions reduce perioperative stress hormone release during surgery under general anesthesia. Listening to music and therapeutic suggestions were also studied, but mostly in awake patients, and these have a positive effect on postoperative recovery and the need for analgesia. In ...
