Perioperative care will be given to the patients for a period of time called perioperative period and categorized into three phases named as follows: preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care. Good periopeartive care should include educating patients about their health condition and guiding & advising them to overcome their severe illness by taking care and monitoring them continuously from hospital’s admission to their discharge. The current article gives an idea about the three phases of periopeartive care with definitions and its important role in patient’s recovery.
