MOTT ENT Post-op Tonsillectomy 2.0.0

Tonsillectomy, with or without adenoidectomy, stands as the most frequently performed surgical procedure among children in the United States. This intervention is aimed at alleviating sleep disturbances and recurrent infections through the removal of tonsillar and, when indicated, adenoid tissue.

This application aligns with the post-operative guidelines established by the University of Michigan Mott Otolaryngology clinic, offering crucial support to caregivers in managing post-operative pain and facilitating recovery. Caregivers often face common concerns such as pain management, dietary restrictions, dehydration, potential bleeding, and fever, which can contribute to heightened stress levels and increased healthcare utilization, including emergency room visits and frequent inquiries to healthcare providers.

Designed to address these prevalent post-operative issues, the application provides anticipatory guidance that helps prepare caregivers for what to expect during recovery. Furthermore, it delivers personalized pain management regimens tailored to each patient’s needs. Caregivers are also afforded easy access to clinic contact information and supplementary resources to aid in determining whether further medical attention is necessary.
