Postoperative fever presents a frequent and at times, thorny issue for the clinician. Whereas fever is frequently a normal phenomenon in the prompt post-surgical period, massive amounts of resources are used each day in the quest of more unfavorable diagnoses. The occurrence of a postoperative fever is not always suggestive of an infectious process. Mild temperature rise might be transient in nature and can emerge from the body's reaction to tissue damage. Fevers that present from two to more than seven days after a surgical procedure can be caused by other physiological reactions. Perioperative nurses can target nursing assessments according to the postoperative day on which the fever presents.
