Article D6124-97 of the French Public Health Code

The purpose of the continuous post-intervention monitoring referred to in 3° of article D. 6124-91 is to monitor the residual effects of anaesthetic drugs and their elimination and to deal, taking into account the patient’s state of health, with any complications linked to the operation or anaesthesia.

This monitoring begins in the operating theatre, as soon as the operation and anaesthetic have been completed.

It does not stop while the patient is being transferred.

It continues until the patient’s respiratory autonomy, circulatory balance and neurological recovery are restored and maintained.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article D6124-97

La surveillance continue postinterventionnelle mentionnée au 3° de l’article D. 6124-91 a pour objet de contrôler les effets résiduels des médicaments anesthésiques et leur élimination et de faire face, en tenant compte de l’état de santé du patient, aux complications éventuelles liées à l’intervention ou à l’anesthésie.

Cette surveillance commence en salle, dès la fin de l’intervention et de l’anesthésie.

Elle ne s’interrompt pas pendant le transfert du patient.

Elle se poursuit jusqu’au retour et au maintien de l’autonomie respiratoire du patient, de son équilibre circulatoire et de sa récupération neurologique.
