“No Rush After Surgery” definitely a familiar phrase to my ears! Sounds like a great talk given by @NZyromski @IU_Surgery
Postoperative acute pancreatitis at @EurPancClub 🇮🇹 🇫🇮 🇺🇸 international panel debate 👹 Risk factor soft pancreas rich in acini 💦 Fluid management in OR is key 🧪 Check your amylase in first 48 hours 📛 Label patients with POH applying “No rush after surgery policy” 😂
