The principle of flashing is to reheat room temperature or slightly warm food in a very hot oven for a short period of time. This enables food to reach its desired temperature while preventing further cooking. Foods can be flashed from 425 to 475 degrees F, anywhere from 2-10 minutes.
Post-operative care. After completion of surgery, the patient is transferred to the post anesthesia care unit and closely monitored. When the patient is judged to have recovered from the anesthesia, he/she is either transferred to a surgical ward elsewhere in the hospital or discharged home.
The postoperative diagnosis is what the surgeon confirmed to be performed during the procedure. âProcedures performedâ is a preview of what should be found in the operative report. Keep in mind that anything coded must be documented in the body of the report. The operative note is the full report of what the surgeon performed during surgery. What do you do if the âprocedures performedâ indicates something that is not included in the body of the operative report? Query the provider. The surgeon is the only one who can tell you exactly what happened during an operation.
