    Study Notes

    Perioperative Nursing Care

    • Nursing care during surgery is divided into three phases: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative.
    • The preoperative phase is from the decision for surgery to the patient entering the operating room.
    • The intraoperative phase is from entering the operating room to being admitted to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).
    • The postoperative phase begins at admission to PACU and continues through follow-up in the clinic or at home.
    • Surgical procedures are classified according to urgency.
      • Emergency surgery: Necessary to preserve life or function (e.g., bleeding control or traumatic amputation).
      • Urgent surgery: Necessary within 24 hours of diagnosis to reduce risk of complications (e.g., fracture fixation).
      • Elective surgery: Preferred treatment for a non-life-threatening condition to improve quality of life (e.g., hernia repair).
      • Required surgery: Necessary within a few weeks (e.g., cataract removal).
      • Optional surgery: Requested by the patient (e.g., breast augmentation).
    • Surgical procedures are classified based on the purpose of the surgery.
      • Diagnostic and exploratory surgery: To confirm diagnosis (e.g., biopsy).
      • Curative surgery: To treat a condition (e.g., tumor excision or appendectomy).
      • Palliative surgery: To reduce symptoms of an incurable disease (e.g., nerve root resection for pain relief).
      • Reconstructive/Cosmetic surgery: To restore function or enhance appearance (e.g., breast augmentation or facelift).
      • Transplant surgery: Replaces or repairs organs or tissues.
