POSTOPRATIVE SURGICAL
COMPLICATIONS
2. Classification systems of surgical
complications
Clavien-Dindo grading system.
MSKCC = Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Centre classification - modification of the
original T92 Clavien classification
NSQIP = National Surgical Quality
Improvement Programme
NCT-CTC = National Cancer Institute
Common Toxicity Criteria
Accordion :contracted/extended
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
3. Clavien-Dindo grading system
Grade I Any deviation from the normal postoperative course
without the need for pharmacological treatment or surgical,
endoscopic, and radiological interventions.
Grade II Requiring pharmacological treatment with drug other
than such allowed for Grade I complications.
Grade III Requiring surgical, endoscopic or radiological
intervention.
Grade IIIa Intervention not under general anaesthesia.
Grade IIIb Intervention under general anaesthesia.
Grade IV Life-threatening complication.
Grade IVa Single organ dysfunction.
Grade IVb Multi organ dysfunction.
Grade V Death of a patient.
Suffix “d” If the patient suffers from a complication at the time of
discharge .

6. TYPES OF POSTOPERATIVE
FEVER
INTERMITTENT
Intermittent elevation of temp with regular return to
normal temp (infection within closed space-
abscess)
REMITTENT/FLUCTUATING
Continuous type of fever drop in fever without
returning to normal
-brucellosis, blood stream infections, infected
arterial grafts, phlebitis.
UNREMITTING/CONTINUOUS
Continuous high fever-CNS injury, pneumonias,
typhoid.hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
7. CAUSES OF POST-OP FEVER
THE 5 ‘W’ OF POST-OP FEVER
1.Wind Atelectasis, pneumonia
2.Water UTI
3.Wound Wound/Surgical site infection,
Abscess, Anastomotic leak, Lines (IVC, CVC,
drains, )
4.Walking DVT / PE
5.Wonder drugs
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
8. FIRST DAY FEVER (24 – 48
HRS.)
ATELACTASIS
PNEUMONITIS
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
9. ATELACTASIS
Anesthesia agents cause increase production
of secretions, as water evaporates, they
become viscous. with diminished cough reflex
& decrease ciliary activity - formation of
mucus plug- obstruct small airways.
When the gases distal to plug get absorbed
the airways collapse.
Febrile response is due to Low grade infection
distal to obstructing plug and absorption of
bacterial pyrogens
Temp elevation within 12 hrs of onset of plug
formation.max temp is characteristically 38.9
degree centigradehassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
10. PNEUMONITIS
High risk group - Cigarette smoking, chronic
bronchitis, COPD
Prevention:
Assessment of patient,
Avoid General Anaesthesia,
Stop smoking,
Spirometery ,
Assess pulmonary mechanics,
Chest physiotherapy,
Early mobilization
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
11. THIRD DAYS URGICAL FEVER 48-
72HRS
CAUSES
Temp elevation to 40.6-41. 1°C
PHLEBITIS
IV catheter sepsis
DVT and Pulmonary embolism
Suppurative thrombophlebitis
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
12. PHLEBITIS
Tachycardia, Hypotension, Oliguria,, Leukocytosis,
septic shock develop 52%.
Mortality rate 40% in above age 40yrs, and 80% in
above age 80yrs.
Tenderness and erythema around catheter.
Precipitating causes:
Hyperosmolar infusate,
Antibiotics ,
size of vein in which catheter.
This can be decreased by adding one unit of heparin.
IV septic technique
Cathater sepsis reduced from 23% to 4% if IV
catheter placed for max 12 hrs.
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
13. IV catheter sepsis
Lack of aseptic technique
Use of hypertonic solutions
Multiple infusions through same line
Change of site after 72 hrs.
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
14. Third and Fourth DAY fever
DVT
PUL. EMBOLISM
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
15. DVT
Diagnosis
3 -4 days Temp elevation, calf Tenderness
(Homan’s sign)
Doppler ultrasound, has replaces contrast
venograms
Treatment is PREVENTION
Identify High risk group from pre-op stage.
Start prophylactic heparin sub cut peri-operative
Mechanical means
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
16. PULMONARY EMBOLISM
Sequelae of DVT
Fever does not appear until pul thrombo
embolisation-pain chest, dyspnoea,
Treatment is prevention
Therapeutic dose of heparin
need hdu
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
17. SUPPURATIVE THROMBO
PHLEBITIS
Presence of suppurative infection in vein is often
lethal-need ligation of vein
high fever , remittent type
common sites are; basilic,cephalic, neck veins
occasionally seen in pelvic veins after septic
abortion,
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
18. URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS
Most common nosocomial infection (40%)
75% patients have some form of urine tract
manipulation
Bacteria found in urine in 1-5% of patients
undergoing short term catheterization, 90% pts in
whom Foley is left for 48hrs or more
Post op UTI; temp 39.4-40°C, rigors/chills
Management –
prevention, Catheter insertion only when must,
Aseptic technique , closed drainage system.
Discard drainage system if accidentally
disconnected and change when obstruction or
contamination occurs.hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
19. DAY 5-8 FEVER Surgical wound
infection
Wound infection‘ present as abscess-cellulites
Signs of erythema, foul discharge, indurations,
soakage
Treatment is adequate drainage &/antibiotic
coverage
Factors responsible-patient related , disease
related, procedure related, environment related.
Lack of preventive measures.
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
20. BENIGN POST OPERATIVE
FEVER
During Operation Thermo regulatory mechanism
Hypothalamus becomes inhibited by Anesthetic
agents –fall in body temp,
Once anesthesia effect is gone- recovery of this
mechanism but intracranial core temp still decreased-
thermosenstive receptors in hypothalamus sense
decreased temp and attempt to raise body temp to
hypothalic set point, often there is over compensation
with a mild febrile episode in post op period
This is diagnosed by exclusion
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
21. OTHER CAUSES
HYPER METABOLISM -increased BMR in
response to surgery –burn pt, returns to normal
with wound healing
DRUG induced fever
DEHYDRATION-decreased sensitivity to
sweating mechanism
MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA
THYROID STORM
FEVER OF CNS ORIGIN
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
22. DRUGS THAT CAUSE FEVER
due to effects of pharmacological activity;
Antibiotics, Cytotoxic agents
Drugs causing fever due altered
thermoregulation
Atropine, Catacholamines, (Decrease sweating)
Increased BMR- thyroxine derivatives
Drugs causing fever due to contaminants;
IV solutions
Drugs causing fever due to hypersensitivity-
sulphas, penicillins,
hassaan.ali@aswu.edu.eg
23. Malignant hyperthermia
Autosomal dominant, rare
Presentation: fever, tachycardia, rigidity,
cyanosis
Treatment: Dantrolene 1 to 2 mg/kg 10 mg/kg
total until symptoms subside
