It allows the patient to drink and eat and to be able to deep breathe and cough. If the patients are not made to undergo a proper post-operative pain treatment, they can potentially develop cardiac problems, chest infections, depression, wound-induced infection, and hypoxia. Post-operative pain treatment has evolved over recent years, with different concepts of how drugs affect the body when used in specific combinations.
