Postoperative Care

Here is what you find if you search Postoperative in the MeSH database:

Postoperative Care
Postoperative Period
Postoperative Complications (with narrower terms)

But when you search the same in CINAHL, it also suggests:
Aftercare

And when I searched it in the MeSH database, it exists!

So you can do this search:

Medline (PubMed)
"Postoperative Care"[Mesh] OR "Postoperative Period"[Mesh] OR "Postoperative Complications"[Mesh] OR "Aftercare"[Mesh]

CINAHL:
MH "Postoperative Period" OR MH "Postoperative Care+" OR MH "Postoperative Complications+" OR MH "Aftercare"

Yay...

EMBASE:

exp postoperative period/ OR exp postoperative complication/ OR exp aftercare/


postoperative period includes postoperative care as well as other narrower terms. Postoperative complication has many narrower terms.
