The objective of this study is to determine the satisfaction level with regard to the discharge information in post operative patients. It includes self care, wound care and pain and various aspects of discharge information with demographic variables. A questionnaire was administered in post operative setting after instructions by the professionals on the satisfactory levels taken on Likert scale and reviewed a week later to confirm with the satisfactory levels in the outpatient department. The study was done at Post operative general surgical wards in a private Hospital in Padur, Kelambakkam at Chennai in India. A sample of 102 post operative non complicated general surgical patients was chosen. It is concluded that proper post operative discharge information in turn may reduce incidence of readmissions; the satisfactory levels may be greater when the operating surgeon himself administers discharge information and it helps reduce complications due to lack of self care, wound care and pain care.Keywords

Objectives: To fabricate the electro chemical; super capacitors by one step controllable redox deposition method for coating manganese oxide onto the surface of a graphite cylindrical electrode. The purpose of this investigation is to employ manganese oxide as the electrode material along with a grahite electrode due to its low cost, environmental benignity and excellent capacitive performance in aqueous electrolytes. Manganese oxide is a material very attractive for its availability, low cost and non polluting effects compared to ruthenium oxide.Methods: The sample is prepared by the immersion technique by varying the immersion time of the graphite electrode with analytical grade Potassium permanganate, Sulphuric acid, Hydrochloric acid and Acetone as precursor sources. Double distilled water was used throughout the experiment. Epoxy resin was used to give the insulating coating for the graphite rod to make a graphite electrode.Statistical analysis : The energy dispersive X-ray analysis revealed the ratio oxygen, manganese and carbon present in the sample. The morphology of the manganese oxide coating on the graphite electrode was examined using scanning electron microscope. Cyclic voltammograms, and chronopotentiometric charge-discharge analysis were taken. Findings: The cyclic voltammograms of the manganese oxide coated graphite electrode shows that its operational stability is high. The chronopotentiometric charge-discharge curves demonstrate high electrochemical reversibility and good stability. Scanning electron microscope results shows that the agglomeration of particles is not seen much. The observed spherical particles are between 220 and 415 nm in diameter.Applications: The most effective and practical technologies for electrochemical energy conversion and storage are batteries, fuel cells, and electrochemical supercapacitors (ES). In recent years, ES have attracted significant attention, mainly due to their high power density, long life cycle, and bridging function for the power and energy gap between traditional dielectric capacitors (which have high power output) and batteries and fuel cells.
