Risk factors for atelectasis include&nbsp;<strong>incisional pain, shallow breathing&nbsp;<\/strong>with poor alveolar recruitment, depressed cough from narcotics, prolonged bed rest, and&nbsp;<strong>smoking history<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Postoperative fever is defined as a systemic body temperature that is at or above 38\u00b0C or 100.4\u00b0F within the postoperative period which gets divided into&nbsp;<strong>4 phases<\/strong>&nbsp;based on the<strong>&nbsp;timing<\/strong>&nbsp;of the fever:&nbsp;<strong>immediate, acute, subacu<\/strong><strong>te, and<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>delayed<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An&nbsp;<strong>immediate<\/strong>&nbsp;postoperative fever occurs within&nbsp;<strong>24 hours&nbsp;<\/strong>of the procedure. The most common cause is&nbsp;<strong>physiologic<\/strong>, but life-threatening complications such as acute transfusion reactions or adverse drug reactions can also occur. Physiologic fevers are transient, self-limited, and tend to occur following surgeries involving high levels of tissue trauma.&nbsp;<strong>Acute transfusion reactions<\/strong>&nbsp;should be suspected in patients who received&nbsp;<strong>blood products<\/strong>&nbsp;or have a personal or family history of transfusion reactions. Physical exam findings include flushing, skin rash, angioedema, respiratory distress, or hypotension. An adverse drug reaction can occur if the patient receives anesthetics, antibiotics, or other medications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong>acute phase<\/strong>&nbsp;of postoperative fever occurs between&nbsp;<strong>postoperative days 1 to 7<\/strong>. The causes of fever during this time are recalled using the&nbsp;<strong>5 Ws<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wind &#8211; Atelectasis or Pneumonia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water &#8211; Urinary Tract Infection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wound &#8211; Surgical Site Infection &#8211; superficial and deep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walking &#8211; Vascular causes &#8211; DVT, phlebitis, central line infection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wonder Drugs &#8211; Drug Fever<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"807\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_a94495.png?w=807\" alt=\"table about the causes of acute postoperative fever\" class=\"wp-image-3636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_a94495.png 842w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_a94495.png?resize=237,300 237w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_a94495.png?resize=768,974 768w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_a94495.png?resize=807,1024 807w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Subacute<\/strong>\u00a0postoperative fever occurs between\u00a0<strong>weeks 1-4\u00a0<\/strong>post-procedure. There are 2 important diagnoses that should not be missed during this time:\u00a0<strong>anastomotic leaks<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>clostridium difficile\u00a0infection<\/strong>. In an anastomotic leak, patients will present with abdominal pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, constipation, or obstipation after abdominal surgery. Physical exam will reveal abdominal tenderness, distension, and signs of peritonitis (such as rebound, guarding, and decreased bowel sounds). The use of antibiotics increases the risk of Clostridium Difficile infection. Patients will complain of colicky abdominal pain, watery diarrhea, nausea, abdominal tenderness, and distension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly, the&nbsp;<strong>delayed<\/strong>&nbsp;phase of postoperative fever occurs&nbsp;<strong>more than 30 days<\/strong>&nbsp;after the procedure. Most fevers that occur at this stage are unrelated to the surgery and caused by&nbsp;<strong>community infections<\/strong>&nbsp;such as upper respiratory infections. However,&nbsp;<strong>device or prosthesis infections<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>fistula formation<\/strong>&nbsp;are two complications that should not be missed. A device or prosthesis infection should be considered when there is intraoperative device implantation (such as mesh during hernia repair, ICD) or prosthesis implantation during joint replacement surgery. Patients will present with erythema, edema, and tenderness around the implantation site. Fistulas may occur in patients that have undergone resections requiring anastomosis or postoperative chemoradiation. They often present with erythema, tenderness, foul discharge, or bleeding from a visible fistula site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_Takeaway\"><\/span><strong>Major Takeaway<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timing of a fever that develops postoperatively is important for identifying the most likely underlying cause. The timing after the surgery can be divided into 4 phases: immediate (within 24 hours), acute (POD 1-7), subacute (between 1-4 weeks), and delayed (more than 30 days).\u00a0<em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0__________________________<a href=\"http:\/\/osmosis.org\/plans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/osmosis.org\/plans\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_68b58a.png\" alt=\"Try Osmosis today ad\" class=\"wp-image-3637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_68b58a.png 700w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_68b58a.png?resize=300,107 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 ____________________________<\/em><br><em><strong><em>Try Osmosis today!
