When patients having major surgery reach the post-anaesthesia care unit,families naturally assume that they have survived the most dangerous part of the perioperative experience.Their assumption is wrong.Mortality in the 30 days after surgery is 140 times higher than intraoperative mortality.^([1,2])In fact,if the month after surgery were considered a disease,it would be the world’s third leading cause of death.^([3])
