Are pain and bleeding the main determinants of unscheduled contacts after outpatient tonsillectomy?
Outpatient tonsillectomy seems safe in Denmark. A minimum postoperative observation period of four hours will reduce the need for postoperative contacts. Because of the potentially life-threatening risk related to tonsillectomy, careful patient selection is mandatory and continuous monitoring of the quality of the procedure is essential.
Cytokine-mediated decreases in drug metabolism may contribute to observed variability in drug response and augment the risk of adverse drug effects in CHF patients.
