➤ When should a medical assistant notify the provider about an oophorectomy patient?
Notify the provider immediately for severe postoperative bleeding, sudden dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, fever over 100.4°F, uncontrolled pain, or wound infection signs. Also report abnormal labs, unexpected vital-sign changes, or a preoperative family history of hormone-sensitive cancers that might change perioperative management.
